Rising Above Your Story with Karena Kilcoyne

Send us a text

We've all experienced pain and trauma in our lives, whether it be trauma with a "little t" or "big T" trauma. There have been people, events, and situations that have hurt and wounded us. As a result, we've developed defense mechanisms to shield ourselves from the pain and to keep us safe. And yet, not dealing with our pain and wounds holds us back from healing, joy, freedom, and peace. But this takes courage. 

Today, I am honored to welcome Karena Killcoin, the best-selling author of "Rise Above The Story." In this interview, she shares her story of trauma and healing and inspires us to rise above our stories and take the courageous path to knowing our true selves, finding genuine peace, and achieving emotional freedom.

Her book, “Rise Above the Story,” is part memoir and part evidence-based framework. She shares her own harrowing stories of trauma and distills the science of what your brain does to keep you safe when you experience trauma.

We all carry negative narratives that fill us with shame and unworthiness. We discuss the proven steps to stop living in the past, end your negative mind chatter, and love yourself once and for all. You are not alone. 

This is a conversation you don’t want to miss! Let’s dive in! 

What you will learn: 

• Karena’s story of childhood trauma and healing. 
• Childhood trauma and its impact on adulthood, personal relationships, and mental health.
• Emotional healing and the fear of facing trauma.
