72: Yemi Penn: Trauma not transformed is transferred, Cleaning our Trauma (part three)

The Selfish Podcast with Chloe & Steph

Welcome to the final chapter of our chat with Yemi Penn.
If you haven't already make sure you listen to part one and two of our conversation with Yemi Penn.
In part three we dive straight into the concept of "trauma not transformed is transferred" and the need to clean one's own trauma and the responsibility of being "the change we've been waiting for".
- The conversation begins with the group exploring the powerful concept of "trauma not transformed is transferred" and the need to actively "clean" one's own trauma.
- Yemi introduces the idea of "sweeping" - becoming curious about patterns, cycles, and bodily signals that may be connected to unresolved trauma.
- Navigating the challenge of encouraging others to do this inner work without judgment, the conversation highlights the importance of acknowledgment, community support, and self-care in the healing process.
- Yemi also reflects on the responsibility and fear that can come with being "the change we've been waiting for," emphasising the need for compassion, language, and taking steps at one's own pace.
- Throughout the discussion, Chloe, Steph & Yemi share personal experiences, insights, and practical tips for listeners on their own journeys of trauma healing and transformation.
