On this episode of Trauma Hiders Club my guest is Jessie Torres. Jessie has overcome child abuse, the murder of a brother, and a soul-crushing marriage. As a fearless advocate for personal growth, she guides clients to conquer fear and take courageous small steps toward their dream lives. Jessie's journey, filled with profound challenges and collaborations with thought leaders like Tony Robbins and the HeartMath Institute, fuels her belief that human potential knows no bounds. Her mission-driven coaching, informed by thousands of hours of experience, unlocks clients' inner superheroes. Jessie champions grace and grit, empowering others to heal emotional blocks and create purposeful lives.
On this episode of Trauma Hiders Club, Jessie reflects on her evolving perspective towards trauma. She discusses the confusion she experienced towards expressing love in her childhood and how when her emotions were dismissed, her nervous system was impacted. Jessie opens up about a traumatic incident in her marriage, which initiated her personal journey of self-discovery and understanding human behavior. She used books and workshops to educate herself, and sought out therapy, eventually moving to becoming a certified coach. Jessie also delves into spiritual practices, emphasizing the power of forgiveness and her connection to her spiritual self. She discusses multiple tragedies in her life and her ongoing journey of finding meaning in suffering.
In her quest to serve, she highlights the importance of finding light in darkness, showing compassion, and alchemizing trauma into something beautiful.
"For me, it's more of ‘boots on the ground’, meaning not just writing a big check to a nonprofit, where we don't know if the child is actually getting the money."
