About

Large or small, we all have traumas, triggers, and moments in our past that we wish we could change. But what if, instead of trying to change the past, we could use it as a springboard to create a better future? With that in mind, my guest on this episode is Alexia Vernon, transformational speaking and women’s leadership expert, coach, and author of Step Into Your Moxie. Having overcome childhood sexual abuse, Alexia is outspoken about owning her past without letting it define her. Tune in as Alexia shares her wisdom around: The role of forgiveness in moving on from those experiences The difference between forgiving and forgetting The importance of self-care and laughter in healing from trauma What you can do when you stop trying to change the past, and start owning it “We can’t predict when an old wound will open. But knowing that we do have the tools and we have the history to look back and say, I’ve been resilient before, I can be resilient again, allows us to get through things a little bit more easily.” Alexia, I can’t thank you enough for everything you shared, both on the podcast and in your interview for my book. For those of you eager for more of Alexia’s insights, I’m excited to announce that my book is officially available for preorder!
