Unmuzzled at 67
by Unmuzzled at 67
Hi, I'm Christine, and this is my story. Unmuzzling myself through the medium of podcasting, I'll be sharing some stories and moments in my life that I have never shared with another soul before. Through the years of trauma, near death escapes, substance abuse, domestic violence, suicide attempts, the lot. When it's written down like that it sounds like a f*cking horror story. But the ending is not bleak! My life went through a 180 transformation. Meditation, journaling, mindfulness. It's never too late to change your path. Join me in rediscovering life at 67.
