    Join me in the latest episode as we delve into Chapter Two: "The Dark Cloud Lady," the foster "parent" with whom I spent the most time with during my party time in my care journey.

    #2. Early Adventures in Memory Lane

    #2. Early Adventures in Memory Lane

    Today we chat about the preface chapter in my book. We explore my earliest memories in life. This episode delves into sensitive topics, so a TRIGGER WARNING is in place regarding discussions of abuse. In the midst of sharing these experiences, I have several raw moments of tears, but we also have exciting news about new sponsors joining the show *hahaha*.


    This episode leans toward the mellow and somber side, reflecting the darkness of my earliest memories. Remember, to find light, we often must navigate through darkness. I apologize for the lack of professional sounding audio quality. It's a work in progress as I hone my podcasting skills.
