info_outlineWelcome back to Bravo Unscripted! Today, we have Manya Chylinski, a TedX keynote speaker, Boston Marathon Survivor, and a resilience coach.
Manya witnessed the harrowing events of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and today, she shares candidly the struggles with the pressure to be "Boston Strong" and the emotional toll such mantras can take on those grappling with trauma. Together, we unpack the complexities behind the notion that surviving a traumatic event necessitates an unwavering facade of strength.
Join us as we delve into the deep connection between trauma, resilience, and the need for a paradigm shift in the way we approach mental health in times of crisis. This episode isn't just about surviving; it's about the courage it takes to face our vulnerabilities and, through them, find true strength.
Stay tuned, as we explore these topics and more.
