Any traumatic experience, whether it’s transgenerational trauma or a specific first-hand event, can become a driving force for how you live your life. As a woman and a leader in your family and community, you deserve and owe it to yourself to take back that control and carve out a future that is worthy of your dreams — but in order to truly heal, you have to start with forgiveness. If you want to thrive and build a better narrative, you must Forgive to Live. Having experienced severe childhood trauma and the insight from pulling herself out of the downward spiral it can cause, Maria Trusa has dedicated herself to helping women from all walks of life bravely face the events that have held them down for so long, and building the confidence and emotional resilience to rise up and take back full control of their lives. By working on releasing self-gustment like a muscle and reintroducing ways to fill your emotional and mental bank, you will have the strength to forgive the people that have caused you pain, and free yourself to live a life of your own creation.
