My guest today is Aurora Kerr. She is 55 years old, has worked as a social worker specializing in grief and loss during the HIV/AIDS pandemic, as a life coach, social activist, retreat owner, fundraiser, volunteer and travel agent. 
Her passions are travel, nature, meditation and personal growth, and advocating for empathy and refugee rights.

Aurora is an emerging writer of fiction, after a long career of helping others as a therapist. She now combines her love of working with people with her vivid imagination and love of characters and books. She lives between Melbourne and Byron Bay.  

We have known each other for about 20 years.

Here are some of her valuable and meaningful insights:

• She has overcome childhood trauma and fear through doing the work and has reconnected with her light
• All trauma is addressable with bravery and focus
• The heart is essential – to be heart-centred rather than mind-centred is the transformation
• She learnt to set healthy boundaries and protect herself in the right way
• She has always been in awe of who she was and understood her light and her intuition from a very young age
• “Never give up” as crucial guidance
• Examples of her experience of true nature are strength, expansion, ancientness and feeling at home
• Fear is worse than what you are fearing
• “Use your courage to face what you are fearing and know that your true nature is waiting for you on the other side” 
• Her tips for the listener:
1. Share this book with your therapist
2. Worst and best exercise (p. 57 in my book)
3. “Be curious about yourself. YOU are unique and there is no one like you.”
