About this podcast
This is our space where I share everything I know about how to outlive and heal from childhood trauma. I truly believe it comes down to two concepts: learning how to love in a healthy way, and learning how to matter in a meaningful way. We'll walk through practical, and maybe sometimes even challenging ways to heal so that you can love and matter with more impact.
