Welcome back to our 5th episode! Today Amanda and Melanie are interviewing their favorite Dutch Vampire, Lithyena a.k.a. Lizzie!

TW: There is some light conversation about self-harm near the end of the episode.

Notes: Amanda and Lizzie both live in the Netherlands, so sometimes the audio isn't the absolute best quality and we apologize for any issues while listening to this episode. Thank you in advance for your understanding <3

Hey y'all! Welcome back to Trauma and Laughs - in this episode Amanda and Melanie discuss the details of moving to the Netherlands, where Amanda still resides with her family.

While reminiscing some really beautiful moments, the sisters chat a bit about their personal trauma and issues they had before and after the move. They talk a bit about discrimination they endured as American's before moving and how its impacted them.

This episode also talks little about molestation, so if that's a subject you're not comfortable with, please skip this one.
