A General Good Time

all about healing: coping, forgiveness, and accountability [series finale]

CW: Self-Hate, Depression, Anxiety, Grief

Welcome my lovely listeners to the final part of my mini-series based on bell hook’s cult classic: all about love: new visions (2000). This week I am exploring the topic of healing through coping honestly, and fair warning that this is an unexpectedly heavy topic for me. Join me as I walk you through the rollercoaster of emotions, hurt, and trauma that have been top of mind but offer unsolicited advice on how to begin to work on healing. It starts with your inner child and what the little moments of our day offer to us… We’re also now active on TikTok at @ageneralgoodtimepodcast and on Twitter at @aggtpodcast, thank you for the ongoing love!
