In this episode of Delusional Optimism, Dr. B and Seth Creekmore speak with Gail Kennedy from PACEs Connection. Gail talks about the connection between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive and adverse childhood experiences (PACEs). She also discusses how PACEs Connection provides a worldwide online and community-based network with the goal of raising awareness in how ACEs can change and impact who we are as well as the positive things that happen to us.
“Once you learn about ACEs and then PACEs and resilience because we have to understand it within ourselves before we can really share it with somebody else. Always integrating that story like, ‘Who am I in relation to my ACE score?’ helps me create my story. Then my story can drive everything else that goes on around me, but it’s very hard to drive the car if you’re not in the car.” - Dr. B [16:30]
“We’re the connectors. We’re the place where people can find each other or the online presence that a group that’s been meeting, that were doing this great work can share with each other and the rest of the world what they’re doing.” - Gail Kennedy [19:12]
