    Omni Wren
    Omni Wren is now my legal name and it means all birds as in 'All birds can fly' I changed my name after I had had a traumatic past, including two life changing car accidents, a change in my career unable to work as I did before, PTSD, Chronic pain and fatigue, emergency surgery that I almost lost my life to, and illness after a 2year internal bleed as a result.

    When I decided to change my name I decided I was going to write myself a new story and take control of my life..

    I threw away all my sick clothes, many possessions, my previous profession, My old limitations, changed my values and beliefs..

    And today I am a transformation coach for life changing injuries teaching others how to redesign their disaster moments...

Loved this episode so much

Thank you Tracey and Kev for a really helpful and informative episode about releasing stress whilst driving. Even as an experienced driver, I can feel stressed about driving to different locations and through busy cities. I will definitely be returning to and using your suggestions for releasing stress.

Great podcast! I look forward to listening to more episodes, Rachel
