Today’s guest is Harris Eddie Hill, an out-and-proud non-binary podcaster, best-selling author, coach and founder of the Centre for Childhood Trauma Healing; a platform dedicated to supporting neurodivergent, queer or highly empathic adults to overcome their childhood trauma and begin to thrive. Shortlisted for the Positive Impact and Sustainability Speaker of the Year at the Speaker Awards, Harris is passionate about demystifying healing and helping people to connect to their own ability to heal.

Today, Harris shares about their entrepreneurial journey and key moments and learning that helped them along the way.
