Growing up is hard to do, a great songwriter once wrote.

School days are the happiest days of your life, apparently.

The first statement is so very true for a great number of people, for a vast array of reasons. Whilst we may know what is going on in our own lives, and those we know, love and care about; the lives of those in our local communities, countries and neighboring continents is just something very few of us give a second thought to.

We are so wrapped up in our own lives and challenges that it takes something so profoundly upsetting or disturbing to bring our attention to something much more sinister and upsetting to wake us up from our slumber of indifference.

Being woken up can come from a multitude of places. A docufilm, our travels, news footage, or meeting someone who has lived and grown up in a set of circumstances which are so alien to us, and so horrifying that we cannot begin to process what life must have been like for them.

Depending on how we meet this person, and how they have chosen to live their life will of course depend on how we interact with them. Some will have not had the resources, the awakening or the capacity to overcome some of the most horrendous acts of violence and abuse known to humans.

Some will have had that knowing deep down inside that they were always born for more, that they were born to serve through the suffering, rise through the trauma to bring awareness and healing to others, as well as bring about social change. Korey Carpenter is one such individual.

What you are about to read, not just in this book but the ones which follow, will open your eyes to aspects of society which you probably thought you were a million miles away from; even if you believe in the six degrees of separation.

Getting to know Korey, his journey and his passion to make a difference in this world has been an emotional rollercoaster. As a mother my heart broke for him and those children in his community. As a woman I felt numb for a variety of reasons. As a leader of humanity, an activist for social change the fire within me erupted. As Koreys coach, mentor and soul sister, I am in awe of the man he has become, the passion he has for healing others, and for the courage he is owning, and sharing, with you all.

It takes a very brave person to face up to traumas and pain from their past, choosing to go on to heal from the wounds caused by said traumas. For that person to then step up and share their journey with others so society can learn the real truths of what goes on behind closed doors, takes a depth of courage not many have. To then choose to take on society, to awaken and heal individuals on a global stage that takes a champion; and Korey is a champion on so many levels.

With his story, his courses and his coaching, not to mention his media appearances, he is changing society and exposing those who consciously choose to look the other way whilst others inflict pain and suffering on others.

His story is not for the feint hearted, nor is it a pleasant read in places. With his Southern accent and his kindness coming through in his words, you will hear how the darkness of child abuse, drugs, violence and the blind eye of society has not made him a statistic but a champion of the people, a champion of men, and a role model for men everywhere.

Korey, it is an honour to know you, to walk this path with you and to watch you defend your title as champion each and every single day.

May the world know your name, and may your words inspire social change and strength in those who need it the most.

With love always,

The people that deserve the first THANK YOU in the writing of this book are those who first believed in me and my potential.

For sticking with me, supporting my vision, and your creative nature thanks for being my best friend and wife, Ani.

For all your love, support, and confidence in me, thank you my amazing soul family, you know who you are. Thank you all for choosing me as your family.

For all the time and work devoted, the coaching and developing, and for being awesome, a big thank you to my coach and publisher, Dawn Bates.

Most importantly, thank you God Source, for the journey that has been my life and to my parents.

Without my journey I would not be creating this book, become a healer, nor have the opportunity to lead others to Becoming the Champion.

This is my personal story of becoming the champion of my own life. No matter your story, we all have the same one because we all have experienced some degree of trauma in our life which we allowed to shape us. Most often we are shaped to accepting the role of a victim in a traumatic situation. I felt like a victim of bad circumstances, bad people, and unfair predispositions the majority of my life. But being a victim of circumstance is how you give away your power. When you feel powerless, you wait and hope for circumstance (the very thing to which you surrendered power) to change or save you.

I am here to tell you the one that can save you or change your situation is you. You must become the champion that goes back and saves you from being the victim. This is the very process that created the champion. You may have heard of being your highest version or your higher self. After embarking on my own mindset and healing journey I realized that every trauma healed, every blockage removed, and every choice made to rewire felt like winning! Soon it came to me the highest self is a champion. And not just any champion but me as the champion.

So, when do you become the champion?

The thing about a champion is that the title always needs defending. The title will need defending through every round of life. Throughout this book, you will be guided to relating types of trauma and resetting them in your timeline to take back your power and lock in your win.

Have you ever been in a situation where you know this is not the way you want to live your life?

Have you thought to yourself, I do not want to do this anymore?
