SLP 398: Break A Leg with Paula Gowland

Self Love Podcast

‘I think I was expecting an older gentleman that had been an orthopaedic surgeon for many, many years, but he was actually quite cool, and he was around about the same age as me, and he kind of walked through those gates at the airport like he was going on a holiday. And obviously, with me sitting in a wheelchair he knew exactly who I was. So, we didn’t even have a chance to go anywhere. We were basically in the middle of the airport where he stripped down my bandages, with thousands of people walking around us, looking, thinking we were crazy I would have thought, and he stripped down my bandages looked at my leg, asked a few medical questions and he basically said the only way we can fix this is you get on a plane tomorrow morning and we amputate tomorrow night.’ ~ Paula Gowland

No one would ever guess that simply hanging curtains could be so life-changing. Beautiful Paula Gowland’s world was turned upside down in the blink of an eye. As a result of a broken leg that morphed into life-threatening events that pushed her reality into deep and dark moments, this amazing soul shares her fight to triumph over heartbreaking trauma as depression and her suffering. This is one of the most powerful and uplifting stories you will ever hear.

About Paula:
From fitting in to truly standing out, Paula’s journey has been one of profound learning, healing and self-discovery coupled with an untiring appreciation for the preciousness of life.

Being forced into the darkest places left no alternatives for Paula. Rising above her struggle for a new normal has led her to become a beacon of inspiration around the world.

Paula Gowland is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker and trauma coach. She has become a beacon of inspiration around the world as she opens our eyes to the strength of human resilience, giving us the courage to leap towards the life we are destined to live.

Her unwillingness to surrender to the depression, loss and suffering while being in and out of hospital beds for more than two and half years, drove her to dig deeper and deeper with every setback.

She refused to sacrifice her sanity for the sake of her children, husband, family, and YOU!

Knowing that one day, her experiences would have reason and meaning, she submerged herself into learning, personal expansion techniques, aromatherapy, tapping, Reiki, astrology and numerology and even trained under Dr. Doreen Virtue.

Dedicated to supporting others to triumph over trauma, Paula’s experiences have served as the vehicle for her courses, coaching and online content platforms. She is relentless in her desire to inspire hearts and move minds to use their trauma as a vehicle to become MORE, not less.
