Make a Wish

Dear Diary & Listeners, I want to start off by saying Thank You. The Dichotomy Diaries has jumped insane numbers this past week and I have you all to thank for that.    Episode 13 starts off with an overview...and maybe a little sneak peek.   The point that we are at in this story is went mentally things all go down hill for me.    Naturally, this is taxing, but when I tell you it is C O M P L E T E L Y necessary- I mean it.    I am constantly questioned on why I would choose to sit with the bad decisions and pain inflicted on me. It is a very simple answer I will repeat over and over again. TO PROCESS IT.    Unprocessed trauma is and will always be the underlying reason for all the things that go wrong. Choosing to experience pain over immediate pleasure of ignorance takes a self-aware individual.    Are you self-aware?   EP13 - Make a Wish is the story of my 32nd birthday in Arizona for Super Bowl Weekend & the Valentine's Day to follow.    Here's a secret I never admitted to anyone ever...   Each birthday that I spent with Dick, my birthday wish as I blew out the candles was always the same. "Please Heavenly Father (what Mormons refer to God as), make things easier for my husband so that we can have a good life.    I never wished for things to be easier for me.  And that should tell you everything you need to know.   Enjoy and be sure to listen to the entire Outro for some additional sneak peeks that will reinvigorate the marathon listener in you...   Forever Speaking My Truth, Amanda Arnier, MLS   WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR SEASON TWO'S STORY!  If you or anyone you know has experienced anything similar and is willing to share, please click the link below to schedule a time to chat with me.  Season Two Story Pitch Call Email: [email protected] Music: Ashley England Sound Production: Amanda L.
