Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Fabricia Prado. In this episode, we examine the profound impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their role as the root cause of both physical and mental illness. We discuss the importance of developing a mindful relationship with our bodies and the need for understanding how healing from trauma requires a holistic approach that involves mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, in this discussion, you’ll gain insights into community-based initiatives, therapeutic interventions, and societal shifts that collectively contribute to a more supportive and nurturing environment for those affected by ACEs. Join us as we explore the intricate connections between early life adversity and its lasting effects on our well-being.
