Amanda Reflecting on old wounds and triggers and living without fear

Today I called my sister Amanda to record a podcast with me. It is her birthday in a couple hours. I ended up surprising her with a podcast request and she obliged. Amanda read a journal entry that she wrote earlier today. Amanda spoke about triggers, deep wounds that date back to her childhood and witnessing fighting around a dinner table that caused he to internalize fear and pain. She spoke about the fear of living small and feeling invisible, bottling up emotions and wanting to be held and comforted by her friends and family. I loved being able to speak with my sister like this and it was a very special podcast for me. Happy birthday Sassy!
