About This Episode

e are in full swing with summer! And here at the podcast we are taking some time to do all the fun summer things as well as taking the opportunity to do some really cool planning for the fall. So we are going to be having Summer Reruns!  Each week for the months of July and August we are going to re-air some of the most popular episodes for you to enjoy again or maybe for the first time. Of course you can go back and listen to all of the episodes any time and get caught up. This was such an impactful talk with Kathie Andriano Murgel that I really felt it was worth repeating. Kathie shared some of her very personal trauma journey with domestic abuse. And her courage and strength to not only overcome and triumph through a very violent and abusive situation, and then to use her learning and experience to help other women is remarkable. I know that Kathie's sharing of her experiences will resonate with so many. Kathie's company is Enlighten You, Empowerment Coaching and she is also a Gentle Trauma Release Practitioner and Reiki Master.  Kathie’s dream is to help women awaken the voice within so they can speak and live their empowered truth and that she is truly achieving. Kathie comes from a background rooted in old world Italian traditions. She lives in Toronto, Ontario. She became deeply affected by the restrictions imposed on her free-spirited mother and eventually on herself. She understood early on that her reality as a girl would be different from that of her brothers. She believed that she would never have the gift of choice and her dreams would be replaced with obligation and duty. Kathie’s marriage was arranged, and with two children she endured 13 years of abuse until she made a decision that this would not be her life story. It was through this adversity that she was able to become the woman she is today. This is where her love for helping women began. Kathie loves sharing her story authentically, believing that it can inspire other women to find their voice. Her joy comes from helping women transform their life through a cathartic process of self-discovery that will help create a life lived in truth, light, and liberation.
