Send us Fan Mail LISTEN & COLLECTING BITS & PIECES [of their ptsd] now. I'm listening for 3 things, like how I'm looking for 3 types of youTube video, what I'm dampening is, "yes, I want to be found. Come find me," since threats that are that specific, that well thought out, the whole plan shared & a defenseless animals makes it all real. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Wow, I think it's completely gone!! In the past, IN ORDER TO KEEP TALKING, I'd celebrate by talking. Originally going to doctor's appointments on my birthday, that being the way to stay attached "to life," was the celebration. I guess that problem is THE GOOD STUFF HURTS, TOO. By the way, none of this is hilarious, but it's the space with no censorshi...

Send us Fan Mail If doing that, when you hear something, stop, ding bell, say, stop, ding bell, continue original recording.  This is all part of get it out.  When you hear someone repeat repeat repeat, I didn't know what was going on & all that (oh my!) became #sobriety #anxiety until I could articulate it. Those who truly have a disease/disorder & those who maybe don't, but use...

Send us Fan Mail ...I don't remember it & why I put it in NOTES. Simultaneously as I buzz (prompting events so more than one) occur.  That's capturing the INTENSITY & since camping is in tents, let's start there.  The request was WOODSY & RUSTIC. This story is on replay for the final time. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This is woman-centric story so I'll be speaking about MEN. WOMEN. COUPLES.  The Best & The Worst. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The thought was, "I gave myself an extra day" since I got the day wrong as I way to flip TIME and for those around me, not focus on the tbi (but unless you know me, how would you know I never get that stuff wrong. I never get dates wrong, only in one environment did I struggle in. THE STATE OF ORIGIN OF NON-CONSENT--make sense when you get the knowledge). So I gave mysel...

Send us Fan Mail I've told people "the plan" & the next step is TO DO THE PLAN. Those who are IN [this story] are in & those who are OUT [are 100% out of my life] & will start with how to be a good friend. I just let one know for the last time before using my real life experience to always, "choose your happiness." It's ok. You can let me go & now I wi...

Send us Fan Mail When you know how you think : (a) how you learn (b) intrinsically self-motivate (c) problem solve independently (d) make sound decisions with data...ding ding ding. That's the principal's campaign & wow, what a lie. They told me NOT to call DCFS since who reported it was a parent. For 2 years & the investigation is in my classroom/office so now, I'm prepped....

Send us Fan Mail ...the intensity is increasing so TO BATTLE it & say, "no way. you are not winning today," use the word.  PEDO. This story is about those who take the most advantage because it's USING STORIES OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA (another excuse or strategy & how do I know---they kept getting it out in front of me!) and REAL ABUSES & NEGLECTS that damage people until the...

Send us Fan Mail ...I'm reliving CONDO (how I bought it by myself and someone's continual asking me about it---even 14 years later), decision to WORK WITH KIDS & only go out for things that "pull me" (LIVE SHOWS the #1 thing since it's a new experience. It will never happen again), HOUSE PARTIES & who you consent to (very easy when invite only, y/n), DV and why mak...

Send us Fan Mail Geez, I miss reading. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail The best thing is to start over. When I trigger from tech it's death threat levels. Showing me how to locate loved ones, killing animals, threats that are specific... Let's start at the beginning with tech. TEXTING & CALLING. What's the difference (instead of talking about this, I'll write about it) UPDATE : did not call or send a text. Had asked to do the...

Send us Fan Mail ...validate it & get to a point where you can just talk. This is informational, after all.  The emotions are real & are present & can help determine if someone is FAKING their trauma since I didn't know people could do that until it happened to me over & over in my own home.  Someone never even had to be in that space so why were they there?   At around 6 minu...

Send us Fan Mail Well, to one person who didn't have the right # nor the ability to sit with the time it takes to get through these instructions & to the next step in their journey. Kindness is FREE & this is way to get everything because if you do not trigger (& are safe) then people can be themselves & what we have---ingenuity, empathy & the ability to teach self & l...

Send us Fan Mail When you can share their name, then their behaviors really start to fade. To think, I thought I had to be NICEST & MOST WELCOMING to end the trauma & thankfully stoop life taught me otherwise. The lessons from the stoop. Everyone is truly out for their own & a hatred of difference is the connective thread.  Look for outliers? Look for rebels? Trust the gut. Let's...

Send us Fan Mail This is the reflection to what I just "got out" in previous post.  Now, that it's out, it's not that bad, finally hearing my voice & now, I think I can WRITE ABOUT IT.  This person had NO NEW MEMORIES & why when I hear people with trauma, I want to help by making new memories, until NOW. Nope. No interest in doing that. Then the people who I can't...

Send us Fan Mail "A slow introduction to drugs..." more like, not knowing what's going on & the homeless community explaining it to me & since they were the first people I spoke to, walking the same way to NWMH (seeing them over & over & remembering to say "hey neighbor" from an initiative learned at The Culture Center (or the old Chicago library), I went w...
