Lessons In The Gift of Post-Traumatic Growth with Krista St-Germain
Krista St-Germain joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about post-traumatic growth. Krista breaks down what post-traumatic growth means, how it applies to everyday people and the traumas we face, and the five areas in which we can experience post-traumatic growth. Plus, we dive into the truth about trauma, how and why growth is always an option for us, what’s surprised Krista the most about this work, and the joy she’s found. Krista’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that growth can be on the other side of trauma and loss if we let it.
Krista St-Germain is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, widow, mom and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. When her husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016, Krista’s life was completely and unexpectedly flipped upside down. After therapy helped her unfurl from the fetal position, Krista discovered Life Coaching, Post Traumatic Growth and learned the tools she needed to move forward and create a future she could get excited about. Now she coaches and teaches other widows so they can love life again, too.
“Happiness and satisfaction with life is always something that we create internally, and we have to own that we created it before so that we can see we’re capable of creating it again because as long as we think it’s something that happened to us, we won’t feel empowered to create it again.”
