Ep 38: Heal and Use Trauma with Magamama

You'll want to take notes during this powerful conversation between Gwen & Kimberly Johnson, founder of the Magamama tribe. In this episode the women dive deep on issues regarding the many facets of women's pelvic health and open the floor to discuss what it means to be a Jaguar, a term that Kimberly has coined to represents a full completion of a healing journey to wholeness as a human. Kimberly is the creator and practitioner of Jaguar Work that guides women to a place beyond where conventional therapy often leads...past the victim stage (where we recognize our trauma) and the survivor stage (where we use our trauma to our benefit)... to a fully embodied and empowered life where our trauma is not the reference point for all that we do. You'll learn how trauma narrows our vision and can lead to a misinterpretation of the world around us and how our bodies are often more trustworthy companions than our minds. You'll also hear how unhealthy use of social media and "over-therapizing" can be detrimental to our social nervous systems. Discover new perspectives that value personal activism as a more effective practice than "self care" and how our culture oversimplifies the vast spectrum of trauma and healing. Be inspired by this vulnerable and eye opening conversation and leave with a future vision of wholeness for ourselves and our children.
