In this episode adapted from Dr. Lee's latest live in our Becoming Trauma Informed Facebook Group, Dr. Lee reflects on the lessons learned from running the Institute over the past three years, celebrating its anniversary.
Key insights include the importance of understanding and maintaining personal capacity, the significance of boundaries, and the necessity of focusing on what is within one’s sphere of influence. The discussion also covers how small, consistent steps can lead to significant impacts, the importance of receiving support and working within a community, and the concept of sufficiency and reciprocity in relationships, particularly in business and personal life.
Through the episode, Lee showcases how things can get much better than one might think possible by making aligned choices and understanding one's boundaries and needs.
