E204: Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton

E204 - Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton: Before I could thrive, I had to survive

Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton is a firefighter, psychologist and writer. In this episode Sabrina proves that nothing is fixed, where you start isn’t important, it’s where you end up. From experiencing homelessness as a teenager, after the death of her father, to working her way up in the fire service, joining at age 18.

She shares with Jake and Damian her experience making life changing decisions whilst being in the fire service, offering a clear and concise decision making formula. Women are traditionally taught not to take risks, from an early age the fear of failure is ingrained into women but Sabrina is challenging this idea. She is encouraging the discussion of gender bias and shares with Jake and Damian how they can do the same in their everyday lives. Sabrina explores why she seeks to understand people, how to re-calibrate trauma and overcoming struggle.
