Ep. 50 - Healing Our Childhood Trauma with Cendie Stanford of ACEs Matter

Who were you as as a child, and how does this energy transmute itself into the way you are in world today as an adult? No matter your age! Over 90% of our trauma was created up till the age of 7.

Come rewild this inner child inside of you in this powerful special 50th episode with Cendie Stanford of the grassroots organization, ACEs Matter on healing childhood trauma, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).  ACEs are linked to challenges in adolescence and adulthood, and they can potentially negatively impact education, job opportunities, and earning potential.

I was honored to have connected with Cendie at my mental health talk at Podfest, and have felt our divine connection ever since in our collective mission to heal the mental health crises that impacts our society at a global and growing scale.

“I believe that Adverse Childhood Experiences are generational curses. I also believe that experiences from our childhood have the power to shape how we treat the adult version of ourselves and others. I firmly believe this vision was placed on my heart by our Creator and it is my life’s mission to spread awareness to others.”  ~ Cendie Stanford

And being the 50th episode today, I wanted to share this:

Angel number 50 is a sign from the divine realm about independence, self-determination, and taking charge of our own lives. It appears
to those who may not be making their own decisions in life and those who may need to make some positive changes in order to
manifest their ideal future.

About Cendie:

Cendie Stanford has lived experiences with childhood adversities, most of which were experienced in zip code 79403. Unaware that her childhood adversities played a role in how she responded to stressors in her career as an educator, relationships, and even parenting, she sought out the why. 

In 2020, Cendie Stanford founded ACEs Matter because she believed three things: 

1) Many generational ACEs are passed down because of a lack of awareness, but the cards we are dealt are not our final destination 

2) Every person in the world deserves to learn about ACEs

3) Everyone has to experience childhood to get to adulthood 

Communities deserve to learn about ACEs and the associated risk and the mission of ACEs Matter is to start the conversation wherever it does not exist. The vision for ACEs Matter is to significantly reduce the number of ACEs that are passed down through generations and increase the number of positive childhood experiences within generations.

Since 2021, Cendie has made several public appearances discussing the impacts of ACEs as a lived experience survivor in underserved and professional communities. Communities are learning that ACEs impact us as a humanity and no one should look the other way.
