When Life Gives You Lemons
Welcome to the When Life Gives You Lemons podcast hosted by Sam Brinkman! In this personal and professional development podcast, we'll talk about the "lemons" life has given me and how I turned them into "lemonade." From childhood and religious trauma to mental illness and abusive relationships to failure and burn out, we'll discuss the ways that these "lemons" can lead to our growth as an individual and a leader. Let's make lemonade!

When You Have Childhood Trauma
In the second episode, I discuss Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), or potentially traumatic life events that occur in childhood (0-17 years.) The assessment for ACEs, located in the resource page of the podcast site at: https://whenlifegivesyoulemonspodcast.wordpress.com/resources/, can help conceptualize the trauma you may have experienced as a child. ACEs can have a tremendous impact on our mental and physical health if left untreated due to the negative impact on health outcomes in adulthood. There is help though to process through your trauma and flip the script. Let's make lemonade!
