Episode 6: Moving Forward from Loss Through Self-Care with June K. Collins
June K. Collins is a Master NLP Practitioner and Coach. In 2012, she lost her son, Kaleb, and found herself hitting rock bottom and not understanding how to rebuild her life without Kaleb in it. During this time, she found a passion with the mind and how individuals react to trauma. Through her own experience and education, she now helps other women rebuild and find purpose in their life.
June K. Collins wrote a book detailing her experiences with child loss and the demons she faced. She wrote Momma, You Don't Heal to help other women to realize they are not alone and to help them begin the initial steps to rebuild their own life with purpose.
Momma, You Don't Heal was released on June 16, 2023, her 12th birthday after the loss of her son, Kaleb.
