Episode 11 - Terri Kozlowski, is a Native American Athabascan of the Gwich’in Tribe - Raven Clan and now resides in Woodstock, Georgia, discovered her true path in life only by coming to terms with a painful childhood. Today, she is a successful life coach with a certification from the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology and helps many others overcome limiting beliefs and fears.

Her show recently reached a milestone 1,000 downloads. You can find her on Apple Podcasts.

Among the fascinating feats that Terri has overcome from childhood trauma and abuse, she can now add published author to the list. Her book, Raven Transcending Fear, is part memoir, part self-help guide; Terri's raw and personal story of diving deep into her past, dealing with the terror before ultimately getting comfortable with fear and transcending it.

Episode Notes
There are so many take aways from this conversation that I don't even know where to begin but one thing is certain, the more I sat and listened to Terri's backstory of childhood abuse, abusive parenting and neglect from her mother during her upbringing to the spiritually strong and vibrant women, author, educator, and healer she is today, I was in complete awe. To take in so much hate and deliver so much love is, in itself, a miracle.
This is one episode you mustn't miss. As I stated in the episode, Terri's message of hope, spiritual growth and compassion ate mindset is like a warm blanket wrapped around our bodies giving reassurance and hope that everything will be okay.

Here are just a few key lessons I took from Terri; important rules for life:
We are not confined to limits others put us in either with labels, opinions, neglect, or pain inflicted from our parent's emotional immaturity.
Play fills the soul and can be relearned, rediscovered and rekindled. All it takes is the freedom to find it again and the permission to indulge.
Self-love is the cure-all for pain, trauma, anger, and all the unwanted emotions that our ego hangs onto.

The pandemic was a real wake up call and the healing that is coming is the realization that we all have the opportunity to love one another. When we respond from a place of love, not fear. we change the world but it begins with changing ourselves first.
