Everyone is on a journey of possibilities. Some people stumble through life without realizing they are on a pathway that can be changed. They follow along on what seems to be a pre-set destination, maybe one chosen or even demanded by their family and society or formed by the traumas of life. This is what happened to me many years ago, until I learned to choose a different path, and started a different journey. My journey began in pain and humiliation. But that is not where it is now, and most importantly, is not where it is headed.
I know a lot about TRANSFORMATION, about changing the problems of life into potential and growth. I BELIEVE in Post-Traumatic GROWTH! I had been diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) many times, due to many accumulated traumas. These traumas were "given" to me through the actions of others. But in the end, each trauma became my own to manage and learn from. I learned that no one is coming to rescue me, no one will swoop down and fix the issues that I had been given. SO, I learned to rescue myself.

Originally, Dr. Warner thought her life-calling was as an attorney. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and English, and then attended law school. While working on a Juris Doctorate, life conspired to end her aspiring law career. Several cumulative traumatic episodes necessitated a withdrawal from that doctoral program. While putting a law career on hold, Dr. Warner turned towards therapy and meditation. She believes traumatic episodes in life put her on a spiritual path dedicated to helping others.
After college she first worked in radio and as a newspaper reporter, then focused on being a parent to a song with a life-threatening medical condition. Dr Warner, and her husband, Rev Mark Warner, were the owners and publishers of Natural Awakenings magazine in Oklahoma. Dr Warner is a published author, blogger and podcaster.
