*TRIGGER WARNING*

Hey friend!

You know I like to keep things open & honest with you, so today's episode is very much focused on what I'm experiencing in real time: being cracked open & having to deal with my trauma; trauma I thought I had already handled. 

This past weekend one of my best friend's lost a family member to their alcohol addiction.  I was not expecting to be impacted by this new at. all. because 1) this struggle had been going on for some time & 2) I thought I had made my peacewith this sort of pain.

Boy was I WRONG.  

This news cracked me wide open & the past few days have been emotionally exhausting.  

I hesitated sharing this episode with you, but I KNEW that I had to put it out in the world because I'm not the only person struggling with past trauma (even if it is not alcohol related).

This episode walks you through what I'm experiencing in real-time & how I'm helping myself process this news.

Please note that I am NOT an expert, & you should always seek professional help as needed.  I simply share this episode so you know you're not alone.

I love you.
