As Viola Davis once eloquently captured, life's akin to a relay race where we pass the baton between our past, present, and future selves. In this heart-to-heart session, we unpack this powerful metaphor, discussing how our history can tether us down and exploring the liberation that comes with confronting childhood trauma. Through personal tales we reveal the delicate art of glancing backward without stumbling, encouraging you on your path toward healing and discovery.
Embrace the challenge of standing back up when life knocks you down. We delve into the triggers that unexpected present-day events can set off and the fortitude needed to face them head-on. We reflect on the importance of turning reflections of our past into the fuel that propels us forward.
Normally when we run a race, we feel weaker, but we talk about how we feel stronger as we pass the baton to move on, in life. We have to take a glimpse back to see where we've been in order to grab that baton and move forward. The pair discuss, Viola Davis' quote that she had stopped with success and not significance.
Finally, we draw inspiration from Denzel Washington's concept of "falling forward," emphasizing the growth that comes through adversity. Join us as we navigate the journey of self-acceptance and capture the essence of what it means to triumph over life's hurdles.
