As a human, because of what you've been through, you're more vulnerable. I knew about childhood trauma that doesn't go unresolved, which is what happened to my ex-husband.
Rachel Meyrick is no stranger to the power of storytelling. As a UK-based film editor and director, she’s used her craft to shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. In this episode of 'The Never Give Up Show!', Rachel shares her journey from editing commercials in London to creating powerful documentaries that highlight stories of trauma and survival.
Her work includes the groundbreaking 'A Deal with the Universe', which chronicles director Jason Barker's journey to become pregnant, and her latest project, 'What Doesn’t Kill Me', which focuses on domestic violence and child custody battles in the US. Rachel's passion for advocacy is evident as she discusses the harrowing experiences of mothers losing custody of their children to abusive fathers, a situation exacerbated by a flawed judicial system.
She recounts her own ex-husband's unresolved childhood trauma and its impact on their relationship, underscoring the long-lasting effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Throughout the episode, Rachel emphasizes the importance of awareness and education. She believes that bringing these stories to light can help survivors feel less isolated and foster a sense of community and support. Rachel also stresses the need for advocacy, urging individuals to speak up and make their voices heard to drive change.
Listeners will hear first-hand accounts of abuse, custody battles, and the failures of the judicial system from survivors themselves. Rachel’s work highlights not just the need for systemic change but also the power of storytelling in creating a more compassionate and understanding society. As she poignantly puts it, 'We are the voters', reminding us all of our role in shaping a better world for those who have faced trauma and adversity.
