Brooke DeBoer, author of "Living the Free Life" and a dedicated life coach, discusses the lifelong effects of bullying and emotional abuse. Brooke opens up about her own experiences with bullying from elementary school through high school, which led to threats and a paralyzing fear. Despite having supportive parents, the trauma stayed with her into adulthood, impacting her health and relationships.

Brooke shares her healing journey, emphasizing the importance of recognizing one's worth and not feeling the need to prove it to others. She discusses the trauma responses many adopt, such as workaholism and perfectionism, and the necessity of processing pain to move forward. Her book guides readers through this healing process, offering reflection questions and encouraging journaling to help individuals overcome their past and create their desired life.

The conversation delves into the significance of setting boundaries in relationships with friends, family, or romantic partners. Brooke stresses the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people and learning to identify and let go of toxic relationships. She also highlights the power of coaching and counseling in helping individuals navigate their emotions and achieve their goals. Additionally, Brooke and her family are committed to giving back, with 10% of her book sales going toward a water project in a village in Africa.
