This was my first podcast episode.
To me it's so cringe - lol, so unpolished, unprofessional yet its still authentic to its core
This episode "Grief, Rage and a Woman Rising" walks through chapters in my life:
Childhood, Abuse, Rage, Faith, Loss, My relationship with my Mum and where I am now.
Some takeaways that stood out for me, were:
– Trauma shows up in behaviour when its unaddressed
– Family silence protects harm.
– Safe relationships can be built later in life.
– Healing is slow, messy, and not linear.
– Faith doesn’t cancel anger.
– Surviving and healing are not the same thing.
If you want to add to the talanoa, here are a few things you might want to start with:
• What part of the story landed for you?
• Did anger show up before grief in your life?
• What wasn’t spoken about in your family?
• Did losing someone change how you see your childhood?
• When did you realise you were surviving, not living?
• Was there anything I spoke about that actually helped — even a little?
You don’t have to share details or even explain yourself
