“I am who I was looking for.” - Eboni Banks This month, we continue to focus on taking the time to re-set. That’s why I wanted to talk to Eboni about using our own intuition (Yes! We have to trust ourselves) to heal from trauma. As a trauma survivor, Eboni has learned to use her wealth of inner spiritual resources to thrive on her own healing journey and is now inspired to teach people how to do the same. To access their intuition to heal the parts of their lives that are stuck and prevent them from living the life they desire. In this episode we talk about: Healing trauma intuitively What it means to rely on yourself and how to really cultivating a trusting relationship with yourself How to have an inner dialogue that supports us rather than beats ourselves up And how you are who you’re looking for Twitter - Website - Connect with Eboni:
