Trauma - a buzzword, lots of awareness around it, solutions coming at us from all angles these days. Perhaps rather than being a ‘trend topic' it's actually a realisation happening globally that there is a lot of work to do if we want to stop repeating history on personal, cultural and global levels and start experiencing and creating more peace. But how do we: Stop being at war and be of service and in gratitude? Navigate out of the safe, small worlds we often create to protect ourselves when we've been traumatised and live large? Stop our stories torturing us or eating away at our creativity and braveryGet risky enough to have tough conversations personally, professionally, politically, and culturally, to break toxic patterns and ‘dirty trauma' as Yemi puts it. Go deeper into understanding trauma and the perception of it or the definition of it changes around the world. Make peace with dark pastsGet men to feel safe evolving beyond their traumas when so often they're told ‘chin up, don't be a wus!' Yemi Penn has made it her life's work to muck in and be a part of the many potential solutions through her work as an author, filmmaker, speaker and PhD candidate - a woman wired for impact. We have a brave conversation today about trauma - personal trauma that different people might experience or hear about people close to them experiencing, but also cultural trauma, political trauma, the difference between men and women in trauma and what we know, and how we might work to break trauma lines in a variety of ways. It's a conversation with questions, ideas, suggestions and exploration, not one with answers and blueprints and rigid opinions or beliefs. We dance in the grey area. Join us! You can connect with Yemi or know more about her work on the following platforms;Instagram:@yemi.pennFacebook:@YemiPennVisit her website yemipenn.com for awesome, helpful freebies!Her book Did You Get The Memo? Is also out now and her Ted Talk is a must. Certainly a must-read for those who feel their lives have taken an unexpected turn and have been left questioning everything!

There was quite a reaction to our last session with Dr Gregory Smith, the guy who faced extraordinary trauma, turned his back on society, walked into a forest and stayed there for 10 years. Over the four seasons of The Mojo Sessions, there have been some definite themes appear. The guys at Doublestar, the production team behind The Mojo Sessions, suggested we do a Megamix of five trauma-related conversations back to back as a holiday superset. It's a long-form episode containing five conversations in all.   We start with Iris Gardner, the wife of former Navy Seal Commander-in-Chief, Jason Gardner. Iris had a brutal upbringing, living in a house with a sexual predator who was a friend of the family. Iris is brave, humble, and out to share her story so that we can benefit from her learnings. Starts: 00:07:50   Then we meet Preethaji, who runs the O & O Academy in India. Preethaji has such a simplistic way of demonstrating how many of us, through our thoughts and actions, live in a world of suffering. This conversation shows how we go from a suffering state into a beautiful state. I've interviewed Preethaji a few times, and I find her approach to life and her philosophy a huge advantage. Starts 01:49:15   Sarah Woodhouse is a research psychologist who specialises in trauma. We talk about trauma and traumatic experiences. What Dr Sarah wrote about in her book "You're Not Broken" is that many people who are suffering from trauma or a traumatic experience say that they feel broken. Sarah is fantastic. This conversation sets up how we can reframe trauma and traumatic experiences. Starts 03:01:00   I first heard Dr Bruce Perry in a conversation with Oprah on 'Oprah Soul Sessions'. At that time, Oprah said that her conversation with Bruce Perry was one of the most important she had ever had. Oprah realised that rather than exploring what was 'wrong with her', the better question was 'what happened to her?'. Anyone who knows me or has heard me speak in the last number of years will know that I think Dr Bruce Perry's book (written with Oprah) entitled "What Happened To You", is a most valuable resource, as what happened to you quite often is anchored down in a backstory. Starts - 04:15:07   The lovely Yemi Penn spoke to us about rewriting our story. Your past does not equal your future. By embracing and acknowledging your past and rewriting that narrative, we can change it to how it can benefit today. Yemi is the author of the book "Did You Get The Memo", which is about changing that backstory. Starts 05:27:37   Listen to all five Megamixes back to back or break them up on several days as you go to and from the office or away on a road trip. These five conversations form the first in a Megamix series that will centre on one particular topic each time, which, for this Megamix, is trauma. One thing that occurred to me when we were putting this together was that when you know somebody who is struggling, perhaps experiencing a challenging time of their life, or facing trauma or a dramatic experience, I think this Megamix is gold—five opinion leaders who each have an amazing story, philosophies and content to share. If you know somebody and think they can benefit, shoot them the link to this Megamix on trauma.   THE ORIGINAL SESSION INFO EP 109: Iris Gardner - Building The Strength To Emerge From The Darkness Iris Gardner spent her childhood off the grid, an ideal life in the woods for a kid, totally off-grid, heading out on horseback, confronting mountain lions, reading books, growing and hunting their food, until the day a sexual predator moved into the house. This family friend would throw the life of a young 5-year-old child into unspeakable darkness. Hear a remarkable story from a truly remarkable lady who has emerged from that darkness with a message that will change how we view life and the lives of our children.   EP 110: Preethaji - Creating A Life of Purpose, Free From Suffering Preethaji, one of the world's leading female philosophers, founded O&O Academy, a philosophy and meditation school, with her husband Krishnaji. She believes that you can live, as many do, a mediocre life with a contrived purpose, but a great life, career or relationship can only happen with an authentic purpose. Preethaji works with corporate leaders to discover purpose, connection and how to live in a beautiful state. Preethaji leads us to a whole new way of discovering love, passion, and creativity.   Ep 223: Dr Sarah Woodhouse - The Disempowering Enemy Within Dr Sarah Woodhouse is a Research Psychologist specialising in trauma, helping people face this world and their past. Her book 'You're Not Broken', teaches us what trauma is (it's probably not what you think), how to recognise it, why it's there and how your past is likely holding you back. Sarah explains the pitfalls of ignoring awkward, upsetting episodes and how true freedom comes from looking back at your past with honesty. Using the latest research-based techniques, her own experience, and her twelve years of trauma research, Dr Sarah Woodhouse speaks with authority on this critical topic.   Ep 226: Dr Bruce Perry - Heal Your Mental and Emotional Wounds and Move Forward Professor of Psychiatry at Northwestern University School of Medicine, Chicago, Dr. Bruce Perry's new book 'What Happened to You?' was written with Oprah. 'What Happened to You?' is a book that helps heal our mental and emotional wounds, wounds that many carry for decades and never give a thought to. Through groundbreaking scientific & emotional insights on behavioural patterns and actual brain science, Dr Perry explores how we can shift our approach to personal trauma by asking what happened to us. Oprah believes her first conversation with Dr Perry was one of the most important and impactful of her career.   Ep 323: Yemi Penn - Rewrite Your Story Documentary producer Yemi Penn believes we should create our own memo. Author of 'Did You Get The Memo?', Yemi, born in Nigeria, has endured her fair share of trauma for herself and her family, including childhood abuse and homelessness. Yet, today Yemi is a self-made millionaire, owning multiple businesses across multiple countries. Yemi shares mindset adjustments to rip up our old backstory and create the new life we want, daring us to create a new narrative for our life and ultimately write our memo.

Cass talks to Yemi Penn about her experience growing up in London and Nigeria, and her decision to 'run away' to Sydney on the other side of the world. Yemi shares the moment she realised she was in danger of transferring her trauma to her own children and how that led to her making it her mission in life to clean her own trauma and help others to do the same.  Connect with Yemi: www.yemipenn.com Connect with Cass: www.cassdunn.com www.instagram.com/cassdunn_xo www.instagram.com/crappytohappypod  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you get the memo or do you feel like you missed something? Today's guest admits that for a long time, she felt that she had totally missed the memo.

Yemi uses the “memo” comparison to life because many of us feel or have felt at some point that we're not living life the way we should.

We're talking to Yemi Penn. She's an engineer, author, documentary producer, speaker, and is currently pursuing her PhD around how trauma can be transformative. She's a survivor herself who's self awareness and growth is ongoing. She's in the midst of transformation and change. So, it was the perfect time to dig really deep into topics like why life doesn't have to be a struggle, what trauma is, how the aftermath of traumatic events can lead to struggle, and the huge question of what is the point of trauma?Yemi then boldly and openly tells us about her own traumatic experience with specific examples of how it's rippled out into her life. A loss of power and consent led to a minimization of her voice.We explore how this became intertwined with personality, how she uses her voice now, the power of acknowledgement and awareness, some of the healing modalities Yemi has used in her own healing journey, and we even breach the topic of restorative justice and how punishment just isn't working to stop perpetrators. This episode may be hard to listen to for some of you, but I hope it inspires you to face any discomfort you may feel when you're ready in order to embrace the sometimes messy inner work required to heal your own trauma.We end the episode by considering the question, what would life look like without trauma. Yemi says she searched the depths of her soul to answer this question and the others throughout this vulnerable and informative interview. I invite you now to imagine for yourself a life and a world without trauma. If we can do that, we can get there.TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss child sexual abuse.

When we're born into the world, we're born into a set of assumptions and norms. When this is all we've known, we think this is just the way the world works — but what if it's all just an illusion? What if there's another way to live – outside of the status quo – and how can you manifest that life for yourself?   Yemi Penn calls this “bending reality,” and, no, she's not talking about some kind of Star Wars-like force – she's talking about questioning societal norms, thinking outside of the box for ourselves and removing what gets in the way of the life we want to live. After experiencing childhood trauma and a period of homelessness, Yemi decided it was up to her to transform her trauma and turn it into a gift. This led her to live all over the world, run four successful businesses, tell stories through books and documentaries and build a life inspiring others to overcome fear, find their power and grow into their potential.   In this episode, we discuss healing from trauma, how we can reframe our norms and preconceived ideas about life and four steps to radical change – first in our minds and then in our reality.   Listen to discover: The definition of trauma Methods that work well for healing trauma What "bending reality" is and how to break out of the status quo Four steps for radical change  The role of ego and identity  The power of suspending disbelief and seeing possibilities for your life I love Yemi's perspective because this isn't pie-in-the-sky thinking or idealism. It's grounded in science, authenticity and real-life experiences of overcoming trauma and failure in order to show that anything is possible. She is a phenomenal person with so much wisdom to share, and I hope this inspires you to live a bold life of connection, bravery and power.   What is a reality you would dream of for yourself if there were no societal conventions and expectations holding you back? What if you decided they didn't matter?    "I'm asking the question, 'Can trauma be transformative?'" - Yemi Penn   "I think there's so much wisdom in our own bodies that we haven't even connected with." - Yemi Penn   "We need to start trusting ourselves." - Michelle Chalfant    "Bending reality is almost removing yourself from the reality that we all appear to live in...It means not signing up for what we have been told is the only way to be." - Yemi Penn   "Bending reality for me is beginning to learn how to dance with the fear of criticism." - Yemi Penn    "Pretend you were not in this version of reality and you were somebody else. Who would you need to be to make it happen?" - Yemi Penn   "The ego really puts us in these boxes and says, 'No, you have to do it this way.'" - Michelle Chalfant    "You can't expect life to show up differently. You have to have radical change." - Michelle Chalfant   "We have to subtract the fear from that innate power we have that most of us have forgotten." - Yemi Penn   LINKS & RESOURCES    Yemi Penn Website  https://www.yemipenn.com/   Yemi Penn TED Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrKE2vMamA4    Yemi Penn Documentary https://www.yemipenn.com/documentary    “Did You Get the Memo?” (Yemi Penn book) https://www.yemipenn.com/book    Yemi Penn Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YemiPenn/    Yemi Penn Instagram https://www.instagram.com/yemi.penn    MORE ADULT CHAIR   The Adult Chair® Website https://theadultchair.com     The Adult Chair® Membership https://theadultchair.com/membership/   The Adult Chair® Events  https://theadultchair.com/events/   The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification  https://theadultchair.com/certification STAY CONNECTED   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelle.chalfant   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfantCo/    The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Today we are joined by Yemi Penn, an inspirational woman succeeding in the male-dominated world of engineering. She describes herself as an Engineer by profession and Entrepreneur by passion.  She is the author of the book “Did you get the memo?” and the producer and star of the incredible documentary “Did I choose my trauma?” which is an absolute must see.In “Did you get the memo?” Yemi encourages us all to challenge the status quo of societal expectations and the pressures we feel.  In her new course “Create your own memo” she encourages students to break the shackles of expectation and create a memo that is based on your own personal definition of success.The key theme today is Trauma.  In “Did I choose my trauma?” she shares very openly about her own childhood trauma and how she was able to process that.She is now in a position to share her wisdom and show people the way to process trauma in their lives.Yemi encourages us to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. This gives us permission to not run away during a moment of trauma; to work through it; to not shut down and bury it deep down inside ourselves.  Great things happen just the other side of your own comfort zone.  This applies equally to our own self-awareness and to embrace empathy. To be uncomfortable feeling someone else's pain so that you can better understand what they are going through and be there for them.Talking about your trauma can be extremely cathartic.  It can help you to process and get through those challenging moments.  Then as you come out the other end you will be ready to share your story so others can also learn from it.Yemi provides wonderful advice on how a leader can help their team at times of trauma.  Trauma that could happen within the organizational walls or trauma that happens in their personal life and impact their wellbeing in and outside work.  She provides great insights on how a leader can be there for that person and to also seek professional help when needed.  This could include encourage your team to join a community of people that have been (or are going) through the same things your team member is experiencing.Any leader that cares deeply for their team should not miss this amazing interview.You can find information about the inspirational Yemi Penn at www.yemipenn.com including links to her groundbreaking documentary; her book and her course.Our sponsor today was SPI Media.You can apply to join SPI Pro at the following link - https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/pro-application?via=TLP You can find SPI's amazing array of courses at the following link - https://courses.smartpassiveincome.com/?affcode=30425_fv3kfsf4 The Leadership Project:Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/334571975014326 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-leadership-proj Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLeadershipProj Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theleadershipproj Twitter - https://twitter.com/leadershipproj1 Website - www.mickspiers.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG9X7weoI4Xs3SreZab

What happens to us when we experience trauma? What impact does trauma have on our bodies, brains, hearts, relationships and lives? And what does it take to truly heal physical and emotional trauma — especially when we've been carrying our wounds for a long time, maybe even generations? To help answer these questions and more, I'm joined on the show by Yemi Penn — author, documentarian, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and all-round powerhouse woman. Yemi's work around trauma stems from her own deeply personal experience of childhood abuse. Determined to free herself from the wounds she was carrying, she began searching for ways to empower her own healing journey and overcome the other forms of trauma she recognised in herself — including generational trauma that she inherited. In this fascinating, inspiring, and incredibly important conversation, you'll hear how Yemi turned her pain into power, how she processed and integrated her trauma so she could set herself free, and how her journey towards healing became a catalyst for transformation and growth. You'll also discover the simple but powerful technique she swears by for releasing stored trauma, how hidden trauma can be impacting your relationship without you even realising, how trauma can hold us back from achieving our full potential, and how you too can set yourself free.** Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of child abuse.

Do you ever get that feeling that everyone else around you has their life together? Did they learn something that you didn't? Did they get the memo, and you didn't? Yemi Penn is an author, documentary producer, speaker, engineer, and fearless thought leader. A tireless advocate for self-empowerment and guiding others to create their own memo, Yemi is a global businesswoman dedicated to raising awareness on worldly issues, daring humanity to act on creating a just world.      With qualifications ranging from project management to neuro-linguistic programming, and methods taught to her personally by Jack Canfield and Tony Robbins, Yemi Penn helps transmute pain to power. Yemi's short documentary, Did I Choose My Trauma, follows her experience of childhood abuse into adulthood. This powerful documentary shines a light on an often taboo subject, reinforcing the notion that we can transform it if we can name our trauma. Yemi and I explore how financial successes & failures can be impacted by unresolved trauma. Check out Yemi's book, Did You Get The Memo? Because I F***ing Didn't. She shares intimate and poignant parts of her life that show her trying to follow the memo, catastrophically deviating from it, beating herself up when she did, and then having the bravery to face the fear, tackle conformity, and challenge convention.

Brendan talks with the unassailable Yemi Penn, amazing author, entrepreneur and TedX speaker. The two find that they can laugh at just about anything as they dive into: the line between processing trauma and moving on, determining how much we can  blame on our parents (it's a lot), three critical steps in dealing with trauma, tips for making the first step in any creative project, how to get our sexuality out from under a rock, wise words for survivors of sexual abuse, a third way to look at COVID, and of course, being traumatized by white people doing karaoke.

From homelessness to CEO, the incredibly inspiring journey of Yemi Penn is an empowering way for anyone to kickstart the New Year! A situation only has the meaning that we choose to attach to it which Yemi has demonstrated time and time again. At age seven, she was sexually abused by a family member which she suppressed for decades until she felt worthy enough to heal and communicate her experience. Irrespective of what our pain is, owning it liberates and affirms us which has led to Yemi creating her first documentary titled ‘Did I Choose My Trauma?'.  Having spent a big part of her childhood in Nigeria and being homeless as a single parent to two children, Yemi almost inherited the story that suggested life needed to be a struggle. In her wildest dreams, she couldn't have imagined that the life she now lives was even possible. Not just the phenomenal level of business success she has achieved but the unique perspective she has adopted not just from philosophy or coaching techniques but from lived experience.  She is absolutely smashing life out of the park speaking on TEDx stages and was recently interviewed by best-selling author, Jack Canfield where she discussed her work in the mindset transformational space.  We go off on MANY tangents with this one, it was an incredible conversation with an incredible lady.

See what I did there... No doubt that I love a witty pun! Yemi Penn is undoubtedly a remarkable woman. I knew moments into this chat that she was going to be sharing some special stuff. Yemi is a British born Nigerian residing in Sydney Australia. An engineer, an entrepreneur, a mindset coach, a trauma thought-leader, an author and a mini series documentary producer. There were SO many avenues we could have taken when speaking to Yemi on this episode... building business, personal transformation, healing trauma and exploring culture to name a few. As usual, I cover as much as I can squeeze out of an hour of conversation and we touch on most of these things. If you feel at times like you didn't get the memo on this thing called life or you don't like that damn memo... you're going to love this ep. Half podcast, half therapy at times as we share and explore ideas and experiences. Yet another podcasting sister in my RWTP family that's for sure!

The Golden Mic Podcast w/ Marc Cordon and TEDxOcala Ep. 041 From Profession to Passion to Mission https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0041_penn Yemi Penn has lived all over the world. And it shows in her openness to diverse ways of thinking and living life to the fullest. She truly is a citizen of the world and has crafted her unique voice through those experiences and her background. It's because of her family roots that she became a successful engineer. But it was that diversity of though that inspired her to become a multi-time entrepreneur. Through this revolution, she evolved into a transformational coach who creates space for her clients to experience healing.  Yemi has done a remarkable job finding her voice and not living the binary “either/or” thinking of this 3-dimensional world. Instead approaching her life by saying, “EITHER I become an engineer OR I become a transformational coach,” she is mastering the art of living with the mindset of “and.” I am can be a transformational coach and use skills that I learned in engineering.
