This conversation has my heart.
Giovanni shares her story and wisdom of living a life with joy after a traumatic childhood that included witnessing her mother accidentally killing her father and the abuse and neglect that ensued in her own life when her mother became incarcerated.
There are so many incredible nuggets in this episode of how to take care of your own self, how to remain positive, and how to take inspired action in your life (for yourself and others!), despite any circumstance that come up. This is not about overcoming, it is about growth, and moving with and through life's challenges to decide how your own story ends.
We talk about Gallup Strengths, grief, PTSD, stigma of therapy in communities, self talk, disrupting old through patterns, letting go, we cover a LOT of territory.
Giovanni shares that God's grace is the only explanation of how she has made it through. She is more than a survivor, she is a thriving beam of light and hope which she brings to everything and everyone in her life.
Thank you Giovanni for sharing your heart and story with us.
