Intentional Transformation-Surviving and Transforming from Trauma with Author Dr. Leonie Mattison!

Going Beyond with Randi Zinn

We welcome to the podcast Dr. Leonie Mattison, an organizational and talent development practitioner and author. Dr. Leonie’s life work is transforming the experience of past trauma and helping survivors live an abundant life. Since the very recent tragedy resulting in the loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and several other beautiful souls, Randi has come face to face with her own traumatic triggers associated with sudden loss- this interview couldn’t have come at a better time. In this conversation, Dr. Leonie and Randi open up about their own traumas, the process of facing them daily, and our power to have great empathy and compassion because of those traumas. But it’s not so pretty when those traumas get triggered, so what kinds of tools can we turn to when our own fears show up? When our emotions feel too overwhelming? When our body is deeply stressed out?

In this timely conversation Randi and Dr. Leonie Mattison dive into:

-Leonie’s experience with trauma and how that affected her life direction and work.

-What trauma and stress does to our bodies and minds and how we can combat this.

-How PTSD works and what happens to us when we witness another person’s trauma.

-Leonie’s own rock bottom moment and how she went through a transformation.

-Tangible tools and exercises for handling trauma triggers.

-Randi’s realization of her mission on this planet from the trauma she’s been through.

-The difference between empathy and compassion and why we need to stick with empathy.

Through personal stories and tips, Dr. Leonie and Randi explore a deeper understanding of transforming from trauma!
