How do you find the strength to go on after trauma and abuse? Learn how one woman did it in this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Kimberly Bell, author of “The Epitome of Kimmy: Accept & Embrace It All.”
Show Notes:
If you experienced trauma as a child—whether physical, sexual or emotional abuse; neglect, or abandonment—it can often feel hard to survive, much less thrive, long into adulthood. The loss, the pain, the grief can feel like too much to bear and keep us from the joys of life. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Healing is within reach. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Kimberly Bell, author, inspirational speaker, minister and mentor for an intimate discussion of how she overcome her beginnings and found a path to resilience.
