108. Carey Sipp
Description
Carey Sipp
To be fully present, to make best use of the incredible potential we all possess, to make the most of what it is to be human, we need a deep sense of belonging and connection. This is something that arises out of our family, our friends and our community. Too often, the development of these deep trusting relationships is marred by traumatic experiences of childhood. But these experiences do not define the people who have them. None of us want to be judged by anything other than the best parts of ourselves. People with adverse childhood experiences are not defined by them.
Carey Sipp found the truth of this through her own story. She recognised her positive childhood experiences as well as her adverse ones. She went on to become the strategic director of Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences Connect (PACES Connect) and describes herself as " a disrupter of multi-generational cycles of trauma and addiction. Just one generation of trauma-free humans can end poverty."
