This episode shares a heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival. The intent of this episode is to help others on the path of healing and moving beyond the pain of the trauma inflicted on them and as well not passing on through the next generation in your family.

Welcome my guest, Kimberly Shannon Murphy. She is a leading Hollywood stuntwoman who has served as a double for numerous A-list actresses, performing in 133 feature films and television shows, including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Captain America, The Old Guard, Bird Box, The Hunger Games, The Lone Ranger, Big Little Lies, Westworld and more. She is a two-time Screen Actors Guild Award winner for Best Stunt Ensemble and has been recognized with numerous award nominations, and since 2018, and has also worked as a stunt coordinator.

For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you.

Releasing her new book Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma.

Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As well as an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.

Now let’s talk about this subject:
