Is childhood trauma in the driver's seat of your life? Many of us are entirely unaware of the profound impact our earliest experiences continue to have on the shape of our lives. Our habits, behaviors, the experiences they create; even our preferences can be the result of childhood experiences and training.

So what do we do to discover our true selves and live an authentic, empowered life? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rainbowbloom/support

In a recent instagram post, a popular comedian roasted a "friend" for not feeling obligated to give her the answer she was looking for. She got an answer, but felt it wasn't good enough.

And social media and our insta-gratification society are largely to blame. Take a listen. Do you think manners still matter?
