You know the saying — hurt people hurt people. But the saying stops too early. Some hurt people transform that hurt into knowledge, into work, into a life. And when that happens, the ones who tried to break you have to watch the thing they wanted to destroy become something they could never be. In this episode, Dahlia talks about the fork in the road every wounded woman comes to — pass the hurt on, or transform it — and what happens when you choose the harder, rarer path. If someone has ever tried to make you smaller, this episode is the answer.
