93: Post-Traumatic Growth with Kimberly Hand, Leveling Up Through Life’s Struggles and The Importance of Finding Joy
Jun 29, 2025 Season 2 Episode 93
Kery Knutson

"We don't bounce back, we emerge as someone new," is one of the poignant soundbites my guest shared in this episode. 

Kimberly Hand is a wellness and lifestyle expert and the host of The Cinnamon Effect podcast… which I had the pleasure of being a guest of recently.  

Kimberly is passionate about helping others live a sweeter, healthier and more fulfilling life -- and that's something I support completely! 

I'm so grateful Kimberly and I had chance to reconnect after discovering that we'd actually met before in our 20's! Since then, we've gone through some ups and downs in life (as we all do) and in this episode we reflect on life lessons and stepping into new versions of ourselves. 

As we uncover here, we can be doing all the "right" things for our health but still be having issues because health isn't all about what you're "doing" but who you are being. 

It's not easy to endure the traumas we all face in life with love and loss but it's we can come out on the other side with wisdom, peace and find new joys. It's not only possible but needed for a healthy life.
