The Choose Love Movement with Scarlett Lewis: Trauma is a Universal Part of the Human Experience

Trauma is a Universal Part of the Human Experience
Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen, are back at the Blue Colony Diner in Newtown, CT discussing forgiveness. Trauma is a universal part of the human experience, and helping kids develop the emotional intelligence to face their pain with curiosity rather than shame or avoidance could be life-changing. When children (and adults) learn to explore their pain, they can transform it into self-awareness, resilience, and even compassion for others. Forgiveness makes you stronger because when you forgive you take your power back!

The Choose Love Movement with Scarlett Lewis: End Cycles of Violence

The Power of Compassion in Action to End Cycles of Violence with Azim Khamisa
In this raw and soul-stirring episode of the ChooSELove Podcast, Scarlett Lewis sits down with Azim Khamisa, a father whose 20-year-old son, Tariq, was senselessly murdered by a 14-year-old gang member. In a moment when most would be consumed by rage, Azim was overcome by something else—a mystical experience that delivered him straight into forgiveness.
This conversation dives deep into:
The spiritual encounter Azim had just hours after his son’s death
Why he chose forgiveness over vengeance—and how it healed him
How he now partners with the grandfather of his son’s killer to save other children
The power of compassion in action to end cycles of violence
Azim’s story will shake you, then awaken you. This is forgiveness not as a soft virtue—but as a radical, world-changing force.
You don’t want to miss this. It's not just about tragedy—it's about transformation.
