E64: Be The Light, Reflections from Tammy Rene

Humans crave light. Sometimes, even when the sun is shining, we feel in the dark emotionally and need to find light. In this episode of the Infuse Compassion podcast, Amy and Mark reflect on their conversation with Tammy Rene in last week’s episode. We talk about finding our way back to light when life turns dark. We discuss: - How we can be helpful in providing light to others. - The importance of finding tools and resources to help you out of darkness. - The power of seeing people and recognizing their value. Darkness happens, often through the actions of others. Finding the way to light requires compassion and builds within us the compassion to help others. Join us for this conversation, then add to the conversation by adding your thoughts in the comments. As a survivor of childhood sexual and physical abuse in a cult, Tammy René brings her personal experience of overcoming trauma to audiences to inspire hope and understanding. Her messages offer victims of childhood trauma keys to healing and offer insights for helping lift those who struggle on their healing journey. Tammy's life story dismantles the stigma of mental illness and shows that “regardless of the pains and heartache we are called to go through, all of us can find light and hope, ultimately thriving in a life that is uniquely our own.” She currently volunteers with her local Suicide Prevention Network as a PTSD support group facilitator. She has worked as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) on behalf of abused and neglected children. Tammy hosts two podcast series: "Survivor Shift: Moving from Surviving to Thriving," where she interviews others about critical shifts in thought and behavior that allowed them to move forward after trauma; "Building on the Light," where guests share pieces of light they've discovered that help them continue to build a life they can thrive in. She is the author of her bestselling and award-winning memoir, "Miracles in the Dark: How a Childhood Cult and Abuse Victim Reclaimed the Light".
