Victor Rivas Rivers is a veteran film and television star, best-selling author, renowned advocate for violence prevention, and the first Cuban-born football player to land a tryout with the Miami Dolphins. He has achieved extraordinary success in numerous arenas. But given his violent upbringing, few of those achievements were ever likely. If not for a handful of individuals who were willing to take a stand on his behalf, he doubts he would be alive today. He chronicles his story of survival in his memoir A Private Family Matter.
In this episode we speak about everything from:
~ family violence and its affects
~ how it literally takes a village to transform trauma
~ what abuse is actually about
~ finding healthy outlets to channel your pain
~ noticing the steps you take that bring you to success
~ how faith and surrender are key aspects in transforming trauma
~ the surprising moment of acceptance and love (and how you
can have the same)
~ the road to becoming a loving husband, father and man (and the heart melting euphoric moment that triggered it)
~ becoming a new solution to an old problem
~ the importance of having a strong connection to higher beings and a spiritual nature
~ the tools and rituals he incorporated to solidify life transformation for good
~ and much more!
