Trauma, boundaries, vulnerability, and the incredible power of giving voice to your pain. #LeftWriteHook
🅳🅘🅽🅖, 🅳🅘🅽🅖, 🅳🅘🅽🅖... Round 2 with Dr. Donna Lyon, and this conversation is packed with power, vulnerability, and raw truth. Donna's back on the show, and boy oh boy has she achieved some amazing things since episode 220 when we first spoke. We dive deep into her groundbreaking documentary Left Write Hook Film, where Donna takes us behind the scenes of this raw and impactful film. A project that isn't just about boxing; it's about healing, empowerment, and giving voice to survivors of child sexual abuse. The film has made waves, including winning the Audience Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Donna talks about the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the deep discomfort of seeing herself on screen, capturing moments of vulnerability that continue to shift her perspective. Tears? Yep. I cried right throughout the film - a beautiful, heart-wrenching kind of cry that reminded me just how powerful storytelling and connection are. We unpack the therapeutic side of boxing, how stepping into the ring is about more than just the punches, and what it means to have agency in the healing process. Tune in as we talk trauma, boundaries, vulnerability, and the incredible power of giving voice to your pain. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's been knocked down and is ready to stand back up stronger. Sponsored By Testart Family Lawyers https://lnkd.in/gdAgP8nZ
