    No one is exempt from neither Trauma nor having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. And NO, you do not have to be military or a veteran to have PTSD. Trauma can be physical and sexual abuse, family and domestic violence, a serious car accident, and or a natural disaster. As a mother with PTSD your battle is everyday, with support (friends and family), self compassion, spiritual direction, therapy, and more you are closer to peace. I had the honor of sharing this platform this week with guest co host, Kathy Parker. She has written pieces for different online platforms such as The Mighty, (where I first found her). She is a writer, poet, blogger, and author. She published her first book last year, A Heart Unravelled a book of poetry documenting her personal journey of breaking and mending, surviving to loving, and the courage to rise from the darkest places. Kathy is a survivor of sexual abuse and shares her journey of healing with us. Just speaking with her gave me courage and a few Aha moments in my personal journey of healing. Please visit her website- https://kathyparker.com.au/the-unravelled-heart/And follow her on instagram - Kathyparkerwriter I strongly believe this topic is so layered and complex that I know this will not be the only episode.

    This month was tough with high anxiety. You ever helped a person and realized you were enabling? This episode I reflect on how I brought unrest, drama, and possible danger to my home in the name of helping. Remember, some people don’t want help; they want to invite you into their chaos. Also, remember saying NO is very freeing.
