EPISODE 001: How Repeating Patterns Help Break the Cycle of Abuse

Published: Oct. 30, 2018, 3:17 a.m.

In this first episode, I open up about childhood emotional abuse leading to an abrupt move across states to safety; how that abuse prompted me to justify smoking; quitting smoking; and cycles of healing. I recount the climax of domestic violence that led to the end of the 9-year relationship responsible for the trauma. 

In this candid solo episode, I tell you why I started the podcast and explore how my own experiences of being safe from abuse and quitting smoking help me have faith we can transform ourselves and therefore transform society.  I use comparisons between a chemical reaction - incomplete combustion - and the toxic effects of living life without enough fulfillment and meaningfulness. 

Tune in to see how repeating patterns in the universe make the comparison possible and the lesson I learned about combating hurtful actions with love.
