Trauma is a Gift for Growth with Sara Webb

Gender Identity Weekly

In today's episode, I speak with Sara Webb, a Resilience Coach who specializes in breakup and meditation therapy. Sara and I talk about topics as off-the-wall as how trauma can be seen as valuable to growth, Western medicine's focus on symptoms instead of health, and the billions of bits of data that hit you every second.
