#224 When Healing from Your Childhood Trauma Leads to Radical Self-Awareness (Poonam Bhuchar)

"As corny as it sounds, it really is about doing the inner work and knowing who you are," observes lawyer, author, and emotional well-being expert Poonam Bhuchar. "We put energy into going to the gym, we put effort into our relationships, why do we not honeymoon ourselves…why don't we spend the time to get to know who we are and what we want?" A powerhouse reinventor and master of resilience, Bhuchar overcame assault, bullying, and attempted suicide before dedicating her professional life to supporting others on their journey to better emotional health. She is the creator of the SAFE Retreat: Transforming Relationships Through Communication and Understanding, which utilizes holistic practices such as yoga and somatic therapy to help couples work through emotional pain and communicate so they can transform their relationships. Listen in to this rich conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour to learn how Bhuchar took the steps to leave an abusive marriage and empower herself towards her best life.

The SAFE Retreat will take place in December in the Hudson Valley, New York. For more information, visit EmotionallySafe.com. Bhuchar’s book, SAFE from the Pain: Out of the Darkness Into a Life That’s Free, Happy, and Good is available now. Connect with Poonam Bhuchar on Facebook and LinkedIn.
