Leaving Nebaj

from Memoir(ish) · host T. George Merritt

Nebaj (ney-BACH) On a sunrise drive out of Nebaj, Guatemala, drifting through uncertainty and self-suppression, I witnessed a quiet procession of Indigenous Quiché walking to market. A beautiful but ordinary moment forced me into an uncomfortable awareness of lives rooted in endurance and community. In contrast to my own avoidance, it prompted a fleeting but lasting shift in how I saw myself and the world. Get full access to Memoir(ish) at tgeorgemerritt.substack.com/subscribe

Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to.
