Wrestlings from the Chrysalis - On Pre-Victory Angst

Sometimes brave choices only follow deep anxiety. Today, I'm getting a little crazy and sharing a few of my teenage diary entries. GASP! As a girl, I felt led to be more than the awkward, nerdy church girl everyone knew me to be. How could I move beyond the comforts of my familiar small town and embrace college life in California. My diary entries reveal how I finally made peace with this decision.   Music Credit: Intro music for this podcast was mixed by the lovely STELLA!  References:  I wish I could remember the lovely story book that talked about the butterfly and the chrysalis. If this is something you want to know about, leave a comment. And I will do more digging.
