The Secret PondCast

Education EN ↓ 4 episodes

Let's get real about processing! Because whether we realize it or not, most of us are walking around in some level of survival mode and trauma response. Through stories, humor, and gentle reality checks (and maybe a snort-laugh), Carmen talks about calming our inner waters, giving ourselves (and others!) grace, and letting emotions flow without wallowing in the wallows. Inspired by her Grandad's secret ponds, she uses the pond as a simple metaphor for inner peace and joy—something we can all experience. You might just be surprised to find that small moments of clarity can show us the way.
