Episode notes

I love the tenets of healing your inner child. I think it's a beautiful practice to visualize your younger self and care for them because they're still within you that version of you has not disappeared each year that you age. In my earl I had kids in my 20s as well I was 28 when I had children so that is super formative too, never thought I would have children in my twenties. At the loss of my mom really it knocked me for a loop it was fucking traumatic beyond belief what I saw but it changed my life ultimately I've got freed from my lifetime abuser. The way I talk about it and navigate it is a bit different than I was 16 years later

TW: Domestic violence, sexual abuse. In her early 20s, Amy suffered an unimaginable loss. Her mother was murdered at the hands of her brother.
