Surviving and Chilling with Debbie

Have you ever looked back on something from your past and realized it wasn't normal at all? In this episode of Surviving and Chilling with Debbie, I talk about some of the things I thought were normal because of childhood and adult trauma. From walking on eggshells to feeling responsible for everyone else's feelings, I'll share some of the beliefs and behaviors that trauma convinced me were just a part of everyday life.

After that, we'll switch gears and do a little chilling as I share my thoughts on Project Hail Mary.

In this episode of Surviving and Chilling with Debbie, I'm talking about the power of the word "no" and why we don't owe anyone an explanation for our boundaries. I'll share some thoughts on respecting ourselves, protecting our peace, and recognizing when someone isn't willing to respect our limits.

As always, this is an unscripted and honest conversation from my perspective as a survivor. Whether we're talking about trauma, healing, relationships, or everyday life, my hope is that you'll leave knowing you are not alone and that your feelings, boundaries, and experiences matter.

So grab a drink, get comfortable, and let's talk about why no is a complete sentence.
