S3 Ep7 - Alicia Smith: Embracing Resilience and Joy After Trauma
In this powerful episode of "The Motion of Gratitude," host Shannon Missimer sits down with Alicia Smith, a best-selling author, educator, TEDx presenter, and a woman of remarkable resilience. Alicia opens up about her life-altering experience of being caught in a gang-related shooting and her incredible journey of recovery and personal growth. She discusses the harmful nature of advice that suggests simply "getting over" trauma and advocates for acceptance and integration as pathways to true healing.
Alicia highlights the importance of shifting our perspective on traumatic experiences, embracing them, and allowing them to shape us without controlling our lives. She shares insights from her TEDx talk, "A Guide to Resilience and Joy After Trauma," and provides practical tools like the "gratitude pause" to combat negative thoughts.
Throughout their conversation, Alicia’s vulnerability and wisdom shine through, offering guidance and hope to listeners navigating their own dark times. She emphasizes that trauma comes in many forms and reminds us that self-acceptance is crucial for holistic well-being.
