52 — Overcoming Trauma and Finding Self-...

Amy Morin
About this episode

Scott Tatum is a survivor of a chaotic and abusive childhood. He describes himself as a "high-functioning victim" who worked hard to suppress his emotions. But a transformative experience while hiking led him to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Scott now shares his story and insights on social media to inspire others to find their self-worth and overcome their own challenges.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why childhood trauma can have such a lasting impact on one's self-worth and ability to function in adulthood.
  • How engaging in activities in nature can provide a healing and transformative experience.
  • Why self-worth and self-care are essential for personal growth and success in relationships and business.
  • How to overcome self-sabotage and unhelpful thought patterns.
  • Why forgiveness (both for oneself and others) is crucial for personal growth and healing.
