23 - Trauma, Self-Compassion and Ambition in the Time of COVID

I'm joined this week by Marya Simmons, a former colleague and the owner of Shift in Notion Consulting, LLC, to talk about Trauma, Self-Compassion and Ambition in the Time of COVID. As an advocate for survivors of sexual assault, she's had an entire career to build emotional resilience and to understand how trauma manifests. We could all use her perspective as we individually grapple with the collective global trauma this era has ushered in.
