🔥 From Trauma to Transformation: Redefining #MentalHealth & Healing 🔥Meet Peggy Shaughnessy, Founder of Whitepath ConsultingA leader in mental health advocacy, Indigenous healing, and systemic change— Peggy’s mission is connecting the disconnected.Peggy’s story isn’t just about personal resilience—it’s about challenging the systems that fail society’s most vulnerable. From witnessing trauma firsthand to working in federal prisons, she saw how mental health struggles, addiction, and systemic racism trap individuals in cycles of suffering. But instead of accepting the status quo, she redefined intervention—shifting from reactive to proactive healing.💡 The Lightbulb Moment?Peggy realized that our approach to mental health is broken. Society focuses on treating behaviors rather than understanding why people struggle in the first place. This led her to develop The Four-Room Theory—a daily practice of checking in on the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual self—helping individuals break cycles of trauma before they escalate.🌍 The Larger Impact?Peggy isn’t just advocating for mental health awareness—she’s calling for a societal shift in how we address mental wellness, addiction, and incarceration. Her work with remote communities ensures lasting, self-sustaining solutions that empower individuals long after she’s gone.💭 What if we stopped punishing people for struggling and started equipping them to heal?🔗 Listen now! podcast.youmewe.ca/peggy-shaughnessy-whitepath/Let’s continue this conversation.

Exposing Modern Slavery in the Hospitality Industry—One Meeting at a Time💡 What if your next business trip, conference, or hotel stay was unknowingly fueling human trafficking?On YouMeWe Amplified, we’re diving deep into a conversation that will leave you rethinking the hospitality and travel industries.Sandy Biback, Founder of Meeting Professionals Against Human Trafficking (MPAHT), didn’t set out to fight modern slavery. But after witnessing human trafficking firsthand during her travels, she couldn’t ignore what she saw. What started as awareness in 2017 has since evolved into a movement that’s educating and mobilizing professionals in the hospitality and events industry to recognize and prevent human trafficking.🌍 The Reality: More people are enslaved today than at any other point in history. From sex trafficking in hotels to indentured labor in the supply chain, the hospitality industry plays an undeniable role—whether they realize it or not.🚨 The Wake-Up Call: “I came home from Cambodia, looked into human trafficking, and realized—this isn’t just happening abroad. It’s happening right here, in my own city, around the corner from where I live.”💥 The Bigger Impact: MPAHT is training hotel staff, event planners, and travel professionals to be the front line of defense in identifying and stopping human trafficking. Because awareness isn’t enough—action is what saves lives.Listen in as we discuss:✔️ The hidden world of modern slavery and how it thrives in the hospitality industry✔️ How YOU can help disrupt trafficking—whether you’re an event planner, traveler, or business leader✔️ Why ethical business practices in tourism and events are no longer optional.🎧 Tune in NOW to uncover what the industry doesn’t want you to see—and how we can change it. podcast.youmewe.ca/sandy-biback-professionals-against-human-trafficking/#EndHumanTrafficking #EthicalTourism #SustainableBusiness #WomenEntrepreneurs #wavemaker #sheIMPACTpreneur ***🌊Empowering & Amplifying Wave-Making Women 🏆 Award-winning Wave-Maker➡️ Follow for strategies to amplify your authentic voice 🎙️ & consciously lead 🧠 with inclusivity 🤝 and impact 🌍.🎤 Speak ...
