Show Notes

Someone said something so wildly inappropriate to me at a family party...holyyyy...

Craziest part? I wasn't mad at HIM, but there was someone else I was upset by...and this might be hiding in your past too...

We usually think of trauma as the person who DID something harmful to us, right? I didn’t realize the damage of the “bystanders” until this happened…

My kid had a falling out with a very close friend- even I was a little shocked at what happened. But I thought it would just blow over once they played like kids typically do… It didn't. He was still super angry every time their name was even brought up even way after it happened. OMG. I knew that feeling...I was stuck there for decades before healing, and it showed more often than I would like to admit.

Out of the mud comes the bloom... I ran into someone yesterday who I had an issue with 2 years ago (I even made a podcast episode about it then!). We had come a long way since. She was going through a really tough moment, and I was EXCITED for her!! Ummmm whattt?? Yep. The faster I have shifted to this (as hard as it was), the faster the good things came to me
