Guest Allison Marlowe talks about overcoming trauma.

My guest is Allison Marlowe. In 2014 Allison suffered her second  major burn out. Her life up til then appeared to the world as having  ‘made it’, with all the signs of a good life. Then she lost both her  business and marriage. She had been a business coach and successful  founder of Global Winning Women, a networking and connections  organisation.

Her recovery journey back to health took 4 years. During this time  she learned about the effects of life’s traumas and how they go into the  body. Often without us being conscious to this. Effecting us physically  and also mentally. In 2020 we have all been affected by a global  trauma. Allison offers us a way to dissolve these traumas as she  describes the benefits of experiencing quality rest.
