Griefs We're Denied: Nature, Climate, Land Loss… with Steffi Bednarek
The Gifts of Trauma
Hosted by: Rosemary Davies-Janes & Kevin Young What happens when grief isn't personal, when it belongs to the land, the climate, and the fractured relationship between humans and the living world?

She suggests that our epidemic of depression, anxiety, and disconnection may not be a malfunction, but an unanswered call to an unnamed grief so large, Western psychology barely has the language for...

If you’ve ever grieved an unrecognized loss, please join us to explore Disenfranchised Grief, the term Dr Doka coined over 35 years ago to describe the grief that rises when a loss isn't openly recognized, publicly mourned, or socially supported, and why so many of us—unkowingly—carry this form of grief.

What if your resistance to self-marketing is actually a trauma block? This week, our very own Gifts of Trauma co-host Rosemary Davies-Janes shares her journey from corporate marketing exec to authenticity recovery coach to Magnetic Presence Marketing creator. Hosts Kevin and J'aime dive into how she helps heart-centered professionals heal their ‘marketing trauma,’ shed their masks and attract ideal, right-fit clients
Together they reflect on:
- Why marketing blocks are almost always trauma blocks in disguise
- How holding 7 different roles can make complete sense when you find your through-line
- The role of Compassionate Inquiry® and why we need to do our inner work first
- Why Gabor Maté's magnetic presence inspired an entirely new approach to marketing
In this intimate conversation, Rosemary also explains why helping people access their authenticity is her driving passion, what it means to be a multipotentialite, why living a mythic life requires courage and grit, and how she learned that a wild spirit and authentic love can go hand in hand.

Quotes:
“A brand is a living entity—and it is enriched or undermined cumulatively over time, the product of a thousand small gestures.” - Michael D. Eisner
“A lot of times people tell me they share things they've never shared with another human before, things that might be deeply linked to shame or some early trauma that they haven't yet named. People have mirrored back to me, is, it's because I bring my authenticity.” - Rosemary Davies-Janes
“ …that idea of masking and false safety is not something that comes with being a Multipotentialite and living across all these jobs and following your heart. There's a courage in there as well, I would presume, to living like that.” - Kevin Young
“There's a practice we go through in Magnetic Presence Marketing. Check with your head brain, your heart brain, your gut brain. Check with your five senses. Check with your intuition, check with your alignment with your spiritual connection, whether that's cosmological or collective or whatever it might be.” - Rosemary Davies-Janes
“As within, so without, as above, so below.”- Hermes Trismegistus
"Follow your heart and the universe will conspire to help." - Juliano Innocente
