This is a time to raise awareness—but also to deepen our understanding.

So much of what we are seeing today is connected to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the lasting effects of toxic stress.

This is not just about behavior.

This is not just about mental health.

This is about the brain, the body, and long-term health.

And while this is a serious conversation…

it is also a message of hope.

Because healing is possible.

Awareness matters.

And prevention begins with understanding.

In this episode of The Root Podcast, I’m speaking directly to parents, caregivers, and communities—

inviting reflection, compassion, and action.

💛 If this message resonates, I also invite you to support the Hardwired to Heal™ initiative during The Amazing Give.

Because together, we can bring awareness and tools to the communities that need them most.

“Awareness is a powerful tool—and the beginning of change and healing.”

There are people whose lives radiate light—people worth knowing because of the good they bring into the world. Dr. John Perkins was one of those people. A profound revelation in my own journey, his life became a living example of what it means to walk in purpose, love deeply, and serve others selflessly.

At 95 years old, on March 13, 2026, Dr. Perkins transitioned from this earthly life into his eternal reward. His legacy, however, continues—impacting hearts, shaping communities, and calling us higher.

His life was not without hardship. He endured deep pain, discrimination, and brutality—yet chose love over retaliation. He chose to be a peacemaker. He chose purpose.

His message was clear and powerful:

“Love is the final fight.”

Through his work in reconciliation, relocation, and redistribution, he showed us a pathway toward unity—reminding us that we are one blood, one body, uniquely created, yet deeply connected.

In this episode, we reflect on:

• The power of awareness as the first step toward healing
• The biological and emotional impact of toxic stress and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
• The role of love—not just as a feeling, but as an action
• How we, as individuals and communities, can become part of the solution

At Grace To Overcome, Inc. (G2O), through the Hardwired to Heal™ initiative, we are committed to breaking the silence around toxic stress and empowering communities through education, awareness, and action.

Because love isn’t passive.

Love is intentional.

Love is transformative.

And as Dr. Perkins showed us—

Love is how we heal. Love is how we unite. Love is the final fight.

✨ Take a moment to reflect, share, and continue the ripple of love in your own life and community.

In this conversation, Pamela Hawkins explores how awareness—rooted in truth, science, and lived experience—can become one of the most powerful tools for healing. Building on insights from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) research and emerging mind-body science, this episode connects the dots between trauma, biology, and our innate capacity to heal.

Pamela shares the vision behind the Research & Verification Center for Holistic Health Advancement, unpacks how conflicts impact the mind, brain, and body, and reframes wellness as a shared responsibility between healthcare, industry, and ourselves.

This episode is not about fear—it’s about understanding.

Not about blame—but empowerment.

And not about perfection—but balance.

✨ You are not broken.

✨ You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

✨ We are hardwired to heal.

As we enter a new season, may this episode inspire you to bring healing home—starting with awareness and action.
