Cheryl Hunter is a bestselling author, speaker and expert on resiliency and helping others overcome adversity.
\n\n\nWhile traveling in Europe as a teenager, she was abducted by two criminals who held her captive before eventually leaving her for dead.\xa0
\n\n\nCheryl survived this traumatic experience, but even though she was physically free, she says she still felt very captive in her mind.
\n\n\nIn the episode, Cheryl talks about this life-changing trauma that happened when she was only 18, how she slowly refocused her life and found freedom.
\n\n\nCheryl's healing process ultimately connected her to her life mission of\xa0empowering people to rise above past trauma. She created an educational framework, which aims to teach others how to break free from whatever holds them captive.
\n\n\nCheryl gave a TED Talk in Santa Monica, in which she shared a powerful Japanese principle she learned along the way in her healing: wabi-sabi.
\n\n\nThe concept of wabi-sabi is accepting your imperfections and making the most of life.
\n\n\n\u201cThe beauty of any object lies in the flaws of that object,\u201d she says, telling others to claim their wabi-sabi.
