Update

This week TeKesha Smith and I discuss childhood trauma. Specifically, I share my story as a complex trauma survivor and how I learned to recognize it by recognizing my own adult patterns of behavior. This episode may be triggering as I do discuss some detail of the traumatic events and how it actually changes you as a person. I'm sharing some of the methods I've used in my healing process. I hope this helps someone else. One of the most important parts of being a Certified Peer Specialist is supporting peers by sharing your own journey so I share my story so others will know that they are not alone in this journey.

Today's show is about consent, what is it? There seems to be a general perception that consent is a cut and dry issue. In reality, consent can be coerced through verbal and non-verbal communication. In that case, consent was not voluntary. Is it really just a personal choice? Or does the persistence of ideas like this create a toxic cultural truth that makes modern communities naturally unsafe? Listen in as we talk about it.

Listen in as L. Lachea Farmer and Rebel Queen cover the multitude of lessons they've learned from their past troubles. Specifically, learning to change how we face our problems can help us break free from repeating toxic cycles in our lives. We have more power than we realize once we develop the courage to tap into it.

We're talking about peace. We all experience turmoil at some point in life. For some the affect is short term, for others.. it takes a bit longer to recover. Some of us are hurting and feel like that's just the way life is not knowing that we're stuck in survival mode. We suppress our real emotions and avoid them at all cost. What if finding your path to peace meant confronting those feelings? Would you do it? Listen in as we share our experiences and how we learned to find peace within. It's a journey yall, but it's not one that any of us have to make alone.
