Welcome, beautiful souls, to "Be Gentle With Me"—your cozy corner for exploring healing, self-care, and personal growth. I'm Christie, and in this first episode, I'm inviting you to curl up with your favorite bevy as we dive into my journey with trauma-informed healing.

In this heart-to-heart, we'll explore:

• My experience navigating multiple mental health crises

• The twists and turns of therapy and how I found trauma-informed approaches

• The game-changing moment I embraced self-compassion

• The inspiration behind "The Wilds Within"

• Real, practical self-care strategies that made a difference for me

We'll also practice a gentle self-compassion exercise - consider it a warm hug for your soul.
