Ep 80: My trauma is my gift with Nick Raeburn

The Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast

Trauma is a part of many people’s lives, but not many are able to use it to then help others overcome theirs.

My guest in this episode is a very special friend, Nick Raeburn. He only started to work on his own childhood traumas late on in life and it has changed who he is and how he shows up in the world.

He gets raw and talks about his experience being abused by a family member as a child, and the impact this has had on the relationships in his life. He also delves into the ways this has shaped how he works with clients to support them to show up as their real selves.

This one is not to be missed.
