I feel blessed that at the age of 11 i knew my step father was acting very strange towards me. I finally had enough and knew it had to stop i physically threw him down the stairs and locked him out of the house then threatened my Mother what would happen if she let him in. This was in the mid 60s
Thank you Yemi for sharing bits of your message with us all. I hope Alex brings you back one day so we can actually hear more about you and the life lessons you have to share. I'm not sure why but Alex seemed more interested in sharing his life experience and views then allowing Yemi the guest share with the world hers. Great conversation, however, I hope you one day allow Yemi back to share her insights and thoughts.
I agree wholeheartedly. She opened up about her trauma and as soon as it was back to him he spent 10 minutes about his. Idk it just rubbed me the wrong way… going to continue the rest of the video now 😅
This is the first time I have heard of Yemi, she is such an amazing listener and truly an empath, I can't fault Alex for talking about his trauma with her. Beautiful lady and so courageous for being willing to share her trauma. Much love to all ❤🙏
@dev77712, my thoughts exactly. It appeared to me that Alex flipped into autopilot. I stopped watching around 2/3 the way through. I'd rather be listening to Yemi.
I think anyone who shares their trauma is very brave and do so to help others whether it's Alex's trauma or Yumi's. I was actually very moved that Alex opened up about and shared.
This is so important. To even begin to grow and transform we have to face the trauma. It has me considering the things I haven't dealt with. Thank you. I watch and learn and heal.❤
WOW!! You guys are amazing ❤ I actually believe trauma from childhood makes us stop growing mentally and spiritually. We get stuck in growth, because of the trauma.
Thank you for this one. so so needed. im only 6 mins in but i want to thank you both already for this one. im 37 and still working on it. its definitely a life long journey. My father was a bad bad man. he just passed away this past summer and a lot came out for me and i was not healed as much as i truly thought i was. Its crazy how much work i need to do. i tried writing it down and i cant. i have been slowly sharing my story on youtube.
I usually skip thru self help videos n get to the important parts, but not this time. I’m actually listening from beginning to end for the first time…Yemi is so humbled, knowledgeable and extremely relatable..I feel an awakening, positive connection from her energy and story. Thank you I needed her words on this powerful energy day - 1/11/24…❤️❤️❤️
Alex I love that analogy about the boiling water, but if you stay in the boiling water too long you can become so hard that you have no feelings and cannot work through that adversity
I struggled with that analogy as well - I'd say that becoming soft is more admirable and what I'd like to strive for. I like that it gives us something to think about.
U make me cry...I so relate to ur Story!!! Yes, I forgive, I just stay way out in country away from everyone...was in bad wreck not supposed to be here...here I Am...key words!!! Trying to relearn from the best of the best only!!! So appreciate you and guests 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
I have found that you get stronger. Only if you transorm the trauma into love and empathy and compasson. Decide what you want to spend your time thinking, doing... experiencing everyday of your life. For me, I dug in and worked on my thoughts, beliefs and experiences. My husband used to ask me when I would come home from my therapist crying, "Why would you intentionally go do somehting that was going to make you this sad?" All I could say was that this is the way to get to freedom and happiness. The joy is on the other side of the pain. Flat out truth.
“Left To Tell” is the book by Immaculee Ilibagiza Absolutely amazing testimony of God, Faith, and Divine intervention and so much more 🙏 Thank you Alex for all the inspiration you continue to share with us ❤️
Yes, many don’t recognize mental & emotional abuse, but the wounds percolate my memories, my personality & how I deal with life challenges. I’m 69 & only recently put it all together. It’s both painful & freeing. Things now make sense!
One of my favourite movie quotes is from Rocky Balboa (#6). When his son complains about how hard it is living in his father’s shadow, Rocky tells him..,"It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”
Love that you guys talked about the back seat driver (inner self). Once you learn how to ask, and how to listen, it changes someone's life. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
This is the best episode I've watched. The two of you were very in sync with your message and it was very enliightening to someone who has also dealt with years of trauma.
Alex. We love you, but, why not let your guest speak about her experiences rather than listen to yours…..again and again and again. Lots of love from me. ❤❤ 17:08
The carrot,the egg,and the coffee bean,the carrot gets soft in the boiling water,the egg gets hardened,the coffee bean transforms the boiling water to ☕ a coffee,I love this parable heard it once from John Gordon?❤
OMG I love this! I never knew this part of your story! And your guest is incredible! She pulled that right out of you and revealed so much compassion fthru her journey I loved this interview! Thank you for this❤❤❤
Thank you thank you both of you for doing this video! I have had lots of trauma. I have also had lots of therapist work with me with different modalities. 40 years of therapy for me. My brother has never sought help and is losing it badly. This helped heal me another little later. Peeling the onion I thought would never end. This this generational trauma ends with me. Period, paragraph! We can heal! Much 💕💕💕
Thank you both for sharing your traumatizing events. Healing takes time. Alex, I hope you find peace and are able to heal. We all go through traumatic events. We need to let it out and then let it go.
Alex you talked way more than usual but I get it trauma triggered. It’s all good brother but it would be good to have your guest on again giving her more room to roam. Love 💕 🎉your work I get to meet people I wouldn’t otherwise, thanks 🙏
Dear Yemi so wonderful how you were able to "transform " your trauma and empower yourself while help other in the process. Dear Alex another fab program under your belt helping all of your listeners to move up in all different directions, P.S. Brad Pitt is not as handsome, caring and intelligent as you!!
Thank you for this episode. I am in the thick of it right now, wondering how I will get through the year, and I have very little hope left. The thought of life getting better, while I don’t see it now, is what keeps me getting out of bed each day.
You are loved by so many around you even if you do not see or feel them. Please believe that this path you are on is rocky until the smooth one opens up to you. Don’t be afraid to follow your intuition. It will guide your choices. We all love you. Take care of yourself.
This was one of the most genuine conversations I have been privileged to experience. Thank you, both. We are all humans trying to figure out our lives, even at 70. May we all realize that we are truly are One and everyone is going through their doubts and struggles. Let’s commit to be kind to each other. Including ourselves. ✨💖✨
Per the lessons from Past Life Regressions; situations, experiences & patterns repeat themselves until one learns to see them through the lens of love.
Thank you so much, Yemi, for sharing. I enjoyed this. U made consider different aspects of my healing. In terms of what i am supposed to be doing to help myself. Thank u. I love u, sis.
You coming into awareness of who/what you really are is gonna surely get ya exactly where you're meant to be! It's all in due accordance to the divine I-Am GSF family....we are ONE..... ❤🎉
Once again blew me away!! I found this podcast and the TH-cam on Thanksgiving day. Alex you have changed my life and your guests and conversations...I have only watched you and some of your guests since...maybe 10 hours on Britbox and that's it ...this conversation has blown my mind and answers so many questions. Thank you my friend ❤️
To think that the state the world is in is due to these episodes, which were not dealt with. Thank you for this conversation. It was really enlightening ❤
I love your channel and the stuff you yourself contribute...like your book..I think its all helping me.i have my trauma and the power its had over me... thankyou and love
Absolutely necessary conversation! One of the most appropriate for your channel, Alex... and Yemi, you're obviously quite brilliant. I am listening to this at work, and this has taken entirely too much of my attention, and I'm being very unproductive... 😄 But I love this show!
Thank you both SO MUCH!! It is by the grace of such shared experiences and the incentive of human connection that I am becoming who I am supposed to be, rather than wallowing or partipating (which I tried and can't recommend btw) in the elaborate illusion. Brave souls saying this is how I eased my suffering so I could see straight...this is the human chain we are constructing so that one by one we are freed of acute suffering and reacquainted with our intrinsic way. In this reality, we are plenty equal to our day.❤
My mom always told me...if I don't lay down...they can't walk on me Always made me cry cause don't understand why they would do that...yes I was always shy🤷🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
My philosophy is that it doesn't matter if you get laid low. It matters whether or not you get back up! Even if you can do nothing to help yourself it is still NOT your fault.
25:26 great point. How did it feel time ? Face it ,and then no more..no more. Coming to grips with oneself. We Allow the experience remember😮❤😊to learn🎉
Good interview. Although I disagree that trauma is necessary for growth. Tolerating failure and learning perseverance however ARE necessary, as is being willing to learn.
This is awesome the modality that is really been an eye opener to me is body code, emotion code and belief code in tandem is like whipping out 10 years of subconscious trauma. She also works with subconscious and goes into past life trauma and so much more! If anyone is interested in the practitioner I use please reply and I’ll share her info.
Alex and Yemi thank you so so much i can relate. Alex i love you you have been an inspiration. Love all the conversations on your podcact. God bless you!❤
I saw that story and then the woman whos family was killed she went to the prison to forgive the killers in person! ❤ but thank you both for sharing!!! Xoxo
I love this conversation, I’m 71 and I’m still going through necessary changes to grow. Thank you so much! 🥰
That's amazing!
Beautiful. Thank you for being You! 🙏😇🙏
I am 73 and ditto.
I have so much respect for you ....- love you!🙏❤️
I am 80 and Agree with you

Yikes. Brave
Thank you for sharing. You are brave. You are strong. You are amazing. You are an inspiration.
Wow!!! You’re my shero! 🦸🏼♀️
I was homeless for 8 years and I don't think I would be here today if I hadn't gone through that. There are gifts in some of our darkest places
Good for you!! That's amazing!

yeah, its painful to watch. I've watched like 40 interviews on this podcast and I've never seen him do this. Its painful to watch.

I think this was one of the most articulate, insightful guests yet. So glad *YEMI* had Alex on. 👀
😂😂
Spirituality is about being kind.
@@christinenewland386 It's also about being truthful.
I did not like how Yemi kept interrupting Alex......
I love how she compared letting go of trama is FREEDOM. Which is what we all want.
Yes
We who listen to you daily know your story. I want to hear Yemi’s. Let her speak !
I’m 61 and in the middle of my third spiritual journey. I think this time it’ll stick thanks to channels like yours!
So inspiring! Great job. 🙏
Amen and I’m 63 and relearning the emotion all over again. ❤❤❤
This is so important. To even begin to grow and transform we have to face the trauma. It has me considering the things I haven't dealt with. Thank you. I watch and learn and heal.❤
Thanks for sharing!!
WOW!! You guys are amazing ❤ I actually believe trauma from childhood makes us stop growing mentally and spiritually. We get stuck in growth, because of the trauma.
Hear hear. So true.
Agreed !!!
Word
There can always be healing from trauma, whether totally or partially. We heal at the speed we can handle, it can't be rushed.
Absolutely! I believe that 🥰😍
I don't want to punch Alex in his face...I want to hug his neck...so appreciate him!!! Love my friend 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏

Yemi has perfect power and integrity written all throughout her Akash and she didn’t have to say much. Energy of Niagara Falls.
I have found that you get stronger. Only if you transorm the trauma into love and empathy and compasson. Decide what you want to spend your time thinking, doing... experiencing everyday of your life.

Totally agree with you 💜
Love you Alex, it felt like you overtook the conversation this time.
God Bless her for surviving. Trauma is one of the biggest issues in todays mental health system. I love her approach to healing❤

This podcast was very eye opening, and Heart opening. Thank You both ❤
OMG I love this! I never knew this part of your story! And your guest is incredible! She pulled that right out of you and revealed so much compassion fthru her journey I loved this interview! Thank you for this❤❤❤
By dealing with trauma and healing it, we become resilient. We are stronger with each thing we walk through.
Thank you for this soulfull message. We love you Alex!!! We love you Yemi!!! Light and Love to ALL!!!💚🙏

Thank you Alex for bringing Yemi on to fearlessly change the perception of difficult, but potentially transformative events. Super helpful!
Wow, Yemi is amazing and so interesting to hear her experience. I hope you'll have her back again!
To think that the state the world is in is due to these episodes, which were not dealt with. Thank you for this conversation. It was really enlightening ❤
Thank you my friends 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
Thankyou for your story yemi...love and light..❤😊
The fastest way to heal from trauma is to acknowledge it when it occurs.
Loved this story 🙌! A very amazing, grateful lady. Thank you for sharing your story 💜🙏
Yemi, you are amazing. I’ve asked myself the same thing. What am I learning about myself. I realize it’s having my voice
SO MANY brilliant tidbits throughout this show! Kudos and Gracious!!
This was awesome!!! Thank you so much! So healing & liberating. Keep doing The Great Work, Alex!
Alex Ferrari, when will you let your guests speak?
Very profound🙏
Such an excellent discussion between two wonderful people. Thank you xx 👍

Good interview. Although I disagree that trauma is necessary for growth. Tolerating failure and learning perseverance however ARE necessary, as is being willing to learn.
I remember choosing this lifetime... so to clarify, we don't choose the How... we choose the What.
I recommend EMDR therapy for trauma. Helps you process it and let the stuck energy release.. Worth trying it ❤
I've learned to change my perspective of big or small traumas.... They happen FOR me not TO me. So I search out the benefits in them.
Boiling water softens the potato and hardens the egg but coffee beans transform the water ❤
Yes. And, somethings don't belong in boiling water, like humans. They burn or die in boiling water.
This resonates so much with me...thank you to you both, for sharing in complete transparency🙏
Thank you both for this valuable conversation. Blessings💕
Really valuable conversation..thank you Yemi and Alex ❤
Really interesting conversation. Thanks.

I dropped out 18 minutes in because the guest did more listening than talking...
Thank you
Makes me think I had to go thru this to help me understand instead of judge🤷🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
Who was being interviewed here? I thought it was meant to be this lady's story. Obviously i was wrong.
If life is just easy, with no tough experience.... How can you have any compassion and empathy
I guess this is what is meant by 'doing shadow work'.... Addressing our suppressed trauma in order to heal... Watching from JHB South Africa
In SA too. Love Alex and his guests
Also in South Africa 🥰
@@marymaluleke7951 Very interesting guests. But I would have liked to hear more from Yemi Penn.

wonderful interview thank you both so much.
Alex and Yemi thank you so so much i can relate. Alex i love you you have been an inspiration. Love all the conversations on your podcact. God bless you!❤
Transform or transfer trauma. Beautiful.
Totally healing chat so needed thank you xxxxx
I saw that story and then the woman whos family was killed she went to the prison to forgive the killers in person! ❤ but thank you both for sharing!!! Xoxo
I love you, Alex, but sometimes I want to hear more of your guest speaking. Just some constructive (I hope) feedback.❤️
