Kelsie Jo asks director of Fostering Change, Abby, onto the show. Abby shares her incredible story and how Fostering Change began.

Trauma can be emotional abandonment, being talked down to, taught to be ashamed of yourself, and so many other things. Your trauma does not get discounted if it wasn't as significant as someone else's. Abby shares how we can acknowledge trauma, notice our responses, and grow past our trauma to become the best version of ourselves.
