Back to EpisodesHollywood Stuntwoman’s Inspiring Story of Survival & Healing After Childhood Abuse w/ Kimberly Shannon Murphy
Description
Kimberly Shannon Murphy is a leading Hollywood for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, and she has performed in more than 130 films and TV shows, including Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Captain America, and The Hunger Games. But beneath all of the remarkable professional successes and fierce exterior, there is a story of a vulnerable girl who was carrying the heavy pain of childhood abuse.
For years, she would self-medicate the trauma of her abuse-filled childhood with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you.
This inspiring episode is all about her quest to reclaim her life, to heal, to learn how to accept & love herself and make sure she is the cycle breaker in her family.
It is a raw, honest & emotional episode but one that will encourage you to persevere, to dig deep and move through your pain, your fears, your limiting beliefs all the while trusting in the process as uncertain & shaky that can feel at times!
