Welcome to the first episode of trauma to soul. We're going to delve into the human psyche on the way to self-love, self-validation, and authentic living. The first episode is with my really good friend Mandy van Gran; she is an exceptionally gifted writer. When you look at our Instagram feed, there is an elegant beauty to her words and images. There's a depth of soul clarity and insightfulness that just awakens you. She also has her column on the elephant journal. Mandy had sent me an article she wrote right before it was published about love addiction. And after reading the article, I felt like I was at my first love addicts meeting; it was so well written, so insightful, and kind of shine some light on things that I really didn't want to have to take a look at. So we decided to fire up the microphones, we just started talking. By the time we looked up, two and a half hours have passed, and it felt like 10 minutes; there's an incredibly great flow throughout the whole episode, because it's so long, we're going to cut it up into eight shorter segments. We're going to get started with the first one right now. So sit back and enjoy.
