*Trigger Warning*; talk of suicide, abuse, sex trafficking… Please proceed with caution when listening. (I mean it.) 988lifeline.org (call 988) - Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Venmo: @insideoutpodcast CashApp: $lavenderjones44

This one is big one, ya’ll. LJ opens completely up about some of the abuse in her life. Sexual grooming in Recovery Communities, sexual grooming in her church growing up, and sexual grooming (and more) from her ex. She also touches on an experience she had that involved a minor who was being sex trafficked where she lived in ATL.

She tells some wicked funny stories from her drinking days. Yes, she ran naked into the ocean, kissed a donkey, and “ruined” a weddin’ (best story EVER).

She discusses the importance of the 72 hour hold and the police code (5150). LJ holds space for the importance of CHANGE. And how we all are changed and have choice in change.

She also talks about being molested as a child, and neglect in her foster home. She goes in depth about her belief and experiences with narcissistic abuse, how it is a mental health diagnosis, and talks about how she sees and interprets the “Realm of Hungry Ghosts.”
