In this episode of the Wisconsin Wellness Podcast, host Laurie Groh MS LPC SAS interviews Paula Kramer, a woman who turned her traumatic childhood experiences into a platform for teaching others about resilience and soft skill power strategies. Having survived two murder attempts by her mentally unstable mother and living through a tumultuous family life, Paula shares how these adversities led her to develop soft skills for positive control in various aspects of life. She speaks about her therapeutic journey to acknowledge and heal from her past traumas, detailing the process of recognizing and responding to the emotional, mental, and physical clues that pointed towards her mother's attempts on her life.

Furthermore, Paula discusses her ventures into therapy, the varying effectiveness of therapists, and her subsequent focus on journaling and self-help as mechanisms for recovery. She also highlights the roles of positive self-talk and the impact of bystander intervention in gossip scenarios as tools for personal empowerment. Paula now offers online self-study courses aimed at teaching others how to leverage soft skills for improving their personal and professional lives, drawing from her extensive research on gossip and behavior styles. Her story is a testament to the potential for personal transformation and the power of resilience.
