Joy Rebel Trudi: The shark that rocked her boat

This episode starts with a shark jumping over a kayak. And honestly, it only gets better from there!Trudi joins me from Australia to share a story about labels, about a lifetime spent wearing them, daughter, dancer, business owner, mother, and slowly discovering that underneath every one of them was simply her. We talk about her son Gibson, born early and unexpected after she and her husband had been told they would likely never conceive, and the journey of understanding neurodivergence that came alongside raising him.We talk about being told her whole life that quiet and compliant was the safest way to be, and about finally deciding she no longer wants that. About discovering Human Design and what it means to be a two four, someone who only truly sees her own brilliance reflected back by the people around her. And about the moment last year when her body, quite literally, put her on her backside and forced her to stop.That stop became kayaking. The kayaking became a shark. And the shark became the wake up call that led her back to herself, to her poetry, and to the beginning of Strump Art and Kids Without Labels, the platform she is now building to support other parents walking a similar path.This is a conversation about asking for more, even when life already looks good. About filling your own well instead of pouring from an empty cup. And about rocking your own boat on purpose.Find TrudiInstagram: @strumpart_trudireid Instagram: @kidswithoutlabelsJoy RebellionTrudi found her way back to herself inside the Joy Rebellion, surrounded by women who hold up a mirror and tell the truth with love.
