Rena Romano Bio:
I used to look at my past as a negative as most people do who have experienced trauma. We are programed to focus on the negative, the crime, and that keeps us stuck in the shame of what was forced upon us. I was stuck for years because of the shame of my perpetrator’s crimes until one day I screamed the words; “I am tired of being ashamed of crimes I did not commit!”
I know that the years of child abuse played a massive role in my lack of self-esteem and self-worth. However, I was determined to heal those hidden wounds because I knew my story and my journey would help other survivors release the shame that they carry. We did not commit the crime; we must stop doing the time!
Survivor to sur-THRIVER®
That is when my journey of self-development reemerged, and I came to understand that counseling is extremely helpful but most often it is not enough to help us become the person we are meant to be. We must continue learning and growing into becoming our highest potential. Today as a TEDx Speaker, Keynote Speaker, and Speaking and TED/TEDx Coach I am honored to help others find their voice and live positively in their life.
My programs take an innovative approach that focuses on mindset success for 100% personal accountability. The THRIVE Perspective® philosophy is a solution-based approach that helps survivors focus on and be proud of their courage, strength, and tenacity to persevere during and after trauma.
I had the great privilege to share my story on “THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW” and honored that my TEDx Talkis being used in the United Kingdom for their ACE’s program and helping victims and survivors around the world.
