How can we turn the traumas we endure into the growth and healing that ultimately leads us to our own heaven on earth? How can we see our difficulties as a gift? How can we take our hard life moments and transform them into beauty? We had the chance to talk to talent broker and former triathlete, Susan Gold, about her fresh starts through life - and there were many! From working with Barbara Walters, to her encounter with Andy Warhol, and most significantly, her experience marrying and divorcing a narcissist, Susan weaves a gorgeous story on this episode outlining her fresh start moments, what she learned, how she healed, and why she's excited to help others transform their traumatic experiences and find their peace. We chatted about everything from major career pivots in the entertainment industry to living with a narcissist, single parenthood, healing from trauma, and how she ultimately found love and peace, and her next path in life. In Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom, Susan Gold reveals a challenging personal journey and path to create a new perspective to thrive in life and share with others who may have had similar childhood experiences. After living with force on both coasts, Susan now quietly resides in the NW corner of the mythical state of Montana bathed in nature with her beloved partner and pets. Through retreats, workshops, webinars, and private sessions she is helping others navigate their way back to their true home, their hearts. You can learn more about Susan, sign up for her newsletter, and get in touch with her on her website. Website: https://www.susangold.us/ Mentioned in this episode: Join the Fresh Starts Collective!
