Do We Choose The Experience Our Trauma Teaches Us? - with Yemi Penn
From homelessness to CEO, the incredibly inspiring journey of Yemi Penn is an empowering way for anyone to kickstart the New Year! A situation only has the meaning that we choose to attach to it which Yemi has demonstrated time and time again. At age seven, she was sexually abused by a family member which she suppressed for decades until she felt worthy enough to heal and communicate her experience. Irrespective of what our pain is, owning it liberates and affirms us which has led to Yemi creating her first documentary titled ‘Did I Choose My Trauma?’. Having spent a big part of her childhood in Nigeria and being homeless as a single parent to two children, Yemi almost inherited the story that suggested life needed to be a struggle. In her wildest dreams, she couldn’t have imagined that the life she now lives was even possible. Not just the phenomenal level of business success she has achieved but the unique perspective she has adopted not just from philosophy or coaching techniques but from lived experience. She is absolutely smashing life out of the park speaking on TEDx stages and was recently interviewed by best-selling author, Jack Canfield where she discussed her work in the mindset transformational space. We go off on MANY tangents with this one, it was an incredible conversation with an incredible lady. Enjoy!
