Great podcast but I feel the commercials at the beginning is so obnoxious. I’m 11 minutes in and they’re still going!
Your episode on your trauma bond was so healing for me. Your perspective and how you explained it was different from what I’d already heard about trauma bonds, that really hit home. I could feel your vulnerability throughout and I just wanted to say “Me too, girl, me too, you’re not alone”. This is so relevant to my current life and gave me a little calm in all the chaos, knowing I’m not alone in any of this. Thank you for showing up in such a vulnerable way, These types of episode really connec... more
First time listener but mos def coming back to hear much more episodes!
Andrea, I’m so glad you’re back! Thank you for everything you do and for sharing your experience. I’m in the muck of a trauma bond myself and trying to fight my way out. I don’t feel so alone now and I thank you so much.
Today’s episode where you shared what has been going on the last year +, where you were very vulnerable and brave, was the best. Thank-you for sharing, it resonated with me that a repeating cycle in my own life that makes me feel helpless and embarrassed, has its roots in childhood trauma and not any inherent failure or lack in my character. I love all your episodes and the thought you put into choosing guests and material. You are such a gift and I really appreciate you. I feel encouraged.
