Welcome season 4! We are keeping this one for always. Find a way to be able to drive a little reckless. Bumper cars, bumper boats, go-carts.

I want to start by grounding us in the reality of child sexual abuse, because a lot of us grow up thinking, “that wouldn’t happen in my family” or “I’d see the signs.” But the statistics tell a different story. Abuse is more common than we’re comfortable admitting, and in most cases, it’s not a stranger—it’s someone the child already knows and trusts. That can feel unsettling to hear, but the goal...

Go for a walk or a run. Taylor started running and had moments where she truly loved it and other times where she disliked it, but always wanted to like it.

So if you have something you need to work through give it a try....
