Speaker 1 (00:00):
So, Bob, we've already recorded this whole episode. We're coming
back to the beginning here, and I want to make
this whole episode just for patrons because we both get.
I mean, you get a lot more vulnerable than I do,
but I get I go on a rant and I'm
I'm yelling at I'm shadow boxing against people on the internet,

(00:21):
and I don't know, it just feels like why put
that out there? So I'm going to make this whole
episode just for patrons. But we have one of those
moments where you get into your trauma and we are
talking the way we talk off Mike, but also you
are really providing a healing experience for people with trauma

(00:43):
and their history as children. And what will people get
when they listen to my ranting? Number one? Don't worry
about the topic because I'm embarrassed to even.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh, okay, what will they get? Krant?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
What are they going to get from your exploration of
your current state of your trauma?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well maybe for some folk and some validation and for
other folks, maybe some hope that you know that the
trauma doesn't have to be the end all, be alsole
definition of you know who anybody is who I am
who anybody is, so hopefully that yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
