3 Value Bombs
1) There’s a part of the brain called the default mode network, and it’s in charge of taking in what we learn socially and creating our sense of self.
2) If there is only one thing that you can do for someone else, it is to be a compassionate witness and to listen to everything that they have to say. Meet them without judgment.
3) Trauma is the great disconnector. It disconnects us from ourselves, it disconnects us from the people around us, and it disconnects us from the world at large.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: If the System Doesn’t Work, Create a New One
[1:15] – Bobbi shares something that she believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- If you’ve had a lack of success in the past, and you have had a whole bunch of people tell you that you can’t do it, then they’re wrong. You can do it.
[1:56] – What happens when you let the past define you as a person?
- As a child, being told that there was something wrong with you, you were broken, you couldn’t do the things… When we let those things define us, we let them limit us.
[2:57] – Why did it feel like successful entrepreneurship was unavailable to you?
- Everyone told her that there was something wrong with her.
- Her professors told her that she had no potential to contribute to the field because of the trauma that she had endured and the mental health issues that she had suffered.
[4:14] – Bobbi talks about trauma changing our brains.
- There’s a part of the brain called the default mode network, and it’s in charge of taking in what we learn socially and creating our sense of self.
[5:43] – Bobbi’s message to trauma survivors.
- Oftentimes we’re told that our inner critic is telling us we can’t do it.
- Those voices get set into our system in service of our own survival, they’re trying to prevent us from ever being hurt again.
- Bobbi’s childhood was filled with trauma, all sorts of trauma. She went into a significant depression in her 20’s and tried to get help, and ended up bouncing in and out of seven different psychiatric wards.
- In 2017, she launched the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching, and she began teaching other people how to be trauma recovery coaches.

[12:42] – Using neuroscience to rewire our brain.
- Trauma is the great disconnector. It disconnects us from ourselves, it disconnects us from the people around us, and it disconnects us from the world at large.
- If there is only one thing that you can do for someone else, it is to be a compassionate witness and to listen to everything that they have to say. Meet them without judgment.
[15:28] – Bobbi talks about psychedelics.
- What these psychedelics do is they allow us to access parts of our brain that are usually armored up.
- They allow us to bypass that armor and get to those parts of ourselves that need that compassion
[17:48] – How can Bobbi change the world?
- Everyone who comes into their program is a trauma survivor. They have lived that experience. They know what it is like to go into the pits of hell and live there – and they are willing to go wherever their clients need to go.
- Build the life that you love to live.
[20:04] – Bobbi’s key takeaway and call to action.
