This week I have guest Wysteria Edwards, BA, Ed.M. After many years of being a kindergarten teacher, she noticed that most of her students are crying out for love and relief. This started her journey to find answers for the broken children entering her classroom—and the wounds in her own heart—through the personal notes, speeches, and writings of Fred Rogers. As a young boy, Mister Rogers acquired avoidant attachment and sought to help other little boys and girls through his show.  Adversity, violence, and suffering can be traced back to broken attachments in childhood. These early attachment wounds follow children into adulthood, often damaging their interpersonal relationships. Not only does Wysteria use this in her classroom but wrote the book: Waiting for Mister Rogers: Teaching with Attachment, Attunement, and Intention.  https://www.amazon.com/Waiting-Mister-Rogers-Attachment-Attunement/dp/1636981038https://www.wysteriaedwards.com/Support the showhttps://www.crimeovercocktails.com/http://www.instagram.com/crimeovercocktailshttps://www.the-crime-connection.org/

The only people she could find to help her survive were drug dealers. She sold drugs for them, and they gave her a place to stay. After getting busted for selling drugs at a hotel she was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison which helped her get clean but opened her eyes to so much more. Elizabeth is now an advocate and, on a mission, to out the prison system for all the abuse, rape, and misconduct that she saw while there.
