Welcome to Episode 47 where my friend, the amazing Martha Glory Kartaoui shares her story of being born into a religious cult and experiencing various forms of abuse for the first 25 years of her life. She shares how her catalyst for change came when she found her sister, who had previously left the cult and needed her help. Martha emphasizes that trauma wears many clothes and that pain is pain, regardless of the specific experience.

She has written a book called 'Glory, Going All In' and offers a trauma recovery coaching program to help others heal and move forward.

Takeaways from this show:

• Trauma wears many clothes and pain is pain, regardless of the specific experience.
• Healing is a choice and requires work, but it is possible with the right tools and support.
• Forgiveness is a crucial part of the healing process, and it is not about condoning or dismissing the actions of others.
• Choosing oneself and investing in personal growth and healing is essential.
• Journaling and finding activities that center and clear the mind can be helpful in the healing journey.
• Trauma, Pain, and the Power of Healing
• From Religious Cult to Healing: Martha's Journey
• "God knew that you would do the work to heal yourself from these traumas so that you would help other people."
• "Light is the most important thing that we can offer the world, and darkness is just the absence of light."
• "It's time to be a warrior for something that's bigger and better than I can ever imagine."
