Have you ever wondered about the healing power of dance and creativity? I had an enlightening discussion with Lynn Forney, an accomplished actor, dancer, filmmaker, and author of "Choosing Survival: How I Endured a Brutal Attack and a Lifetime of Trauma Through the Power of Action, Choice, and Self Expression ."
Lynn opened up about her harrowing ordeal of surviving a brutal attack, the victim blaming she faced, and how she found solace and strength in her love for modern and contemporary dance.
Lynn's story takes us through her journey to recovery, where she unveils the power of art and dance as instruments to process trauma. She kandidly discusses her inner battles with emotions and depression, providing a potent reminder of how resilience and determination can navigate us through life's most challenging obstacles. Lynn's successful short film, ‘Hot Sauce,’ exemplifies the power of creativity as a survival tool; a facet she's further exploring in her upcoming projects.
Wrapping up our conversation with a round of 'Ten Kandy Questions,' we delve into Lynn's philosophy and life experiences. Her powerful message resonates- choosing love over anger, and trusting oneself. Learn how her book is not just her story, but a beacon of hope for others who have been victimized, guiding them towards conscious healing and self-advocacy. This episode is a testament to the human spirit, a story of hope, courage, and inspiration, one that you wouldn't want to miss.
