This week, we interview our first special guest: Debbie Patton! Join us as we hear about her long and traumatic journey of repeated loss and heartbreak. Have tissues nearby before you press play - this was a hard one for all of us.

In this episode, we regale you with stories of our practitioners getting a talking, organs getting stabbed, and finally ending Anna’s hospital chronicles. For now. Not for people who fear needles, sarcasm or the word "stinker.”

In this episode we share a story we have NEVER TOLD BEFORE - involving Anna, a chair, and the chaos that followed. PLUS we discover what was causing her intense pain and begin moving toward a solution. Join us!

Join us as our story takes a sudden turn back to the hospital where we frighten and confuse everyone, including ourselves. Listen to a part of Anna's story that we’ve never talked about until THIS EPISODE, and see how staying connected helps us move through these memories - together! We are so glad you are on this journey with us!

In this episode we laugh our way through reflections on our anxiety and trauma responses that include (but certainly aren’t limited to) screaming at well-meaning nurses. We also share one of our "secret weapon" coping strategies and most importantly, we finish another episode in the journey! So glad you are with us!

In this episode we force you to endure Kim's virus voice and Anna's back going out while we try to give an intelligent explanation of Anterior Scoliosis Correction Surgery (note to listeners: we failed miserably - google it!). Anna describes what it was like to wake up from surgery without any pain relief, and Kim faithfully interrupts her at every turn. Still no interviews (STOP PRESSURING US!) but we do succeed at posting yet another episode! (Please send praise). Thanks for joining us!

In this episode we respond to some good listener feedback and then immediately talk ourselves out of changing anything. Also, to make sure our listeners feel prioritized, we completely fail to provide the interview we promised in episode three (thank you for loving us unconditionally). We do cover important topics like what rainbow sprinkles are made of, how to win at those claw machines and the steps leading up to Anna's experimental surgery. Thanks for joining us!

In our third episode we conclude (almost) the story about Anna's second surgery. Discover new ways to mispronounce words, redirect conversations and talk over one another with multiple "butt-tingle" warnings and Anna's first (and second) near death experiences. We've only just begun this journey through multiple traumas and we are so glad you are along for the ride. Enjoy!

In this our second episode, we finish the story of Anna's first surgery while she was overseas in Australia. We also find a new word to argue over, a new type of ear plug and countless new ways to interrupt each other. Jump in and enjoy the messiness! So glad you are with us on this journey.

In our very first episode, we begin talking through Anna's first surgery that occurred while she was overseas in Australia. "Butt tingle" warnings, mother-daughter interrupting, and oversharing abound! Enjoy!
