The power of the fight, flight, freeze or fawn reaction is so powerful that my guest today experienced it for 20 years. Genocide tends to do that to you. What happens years after a difficult or even traumatic experience is often where the real tough work begins. Humans are amazing creatures and when pushed,  we can endure and through personal growth, we flourish. Our guest today, Maja Kazazic shares the impact, or echo, of the events she survived as a child living through a genocide that killed over 250,000 people.  Her real struggle happened 17 years later after she had triumphed over hundreds of surgeries, learning how to walk then run again and founding a successful software company. After a chance meeting on an airplane, her life took a path she would have never expected.  Her willingness to look back in order to move forward will benefit anyone who has ever experienced trauma in their life. Join Maja and me in the finale of this 2 part interview.
