Hindsight's 2020
Hindsight’s 2020 is a podcast that gives voice to the stories and lessons learned during 2020, a year that saw our collective cortisol levels at an all time high! My goal is to share stories in a safe space where it’s ok to be who we are, feel what we feel and to know we’re not alone. To build a community where we can unclench our jaws, let our guard down for just a little while and maybe even have a laugh or two. So let’s lift one another up, learn from each other how to put one foot in front of the other and let the healing begin...because Hindsight’s 2020.

4:04 My parents told me right then and there “You cannot talk to the police. You cannot get in trouble”.
4:24 I was afraid to do any kind of mistakes because I immediately equated that with possibly going back to place that I didn’t know anybody or anything about.

4:57 I had to walk a very fine line and that there was no room for mistakes...

11:30 I took 6 weeks off toward the end of the year - to me the leave is more of a symptom of the fact that I didn't put myself first for a long, long time. Then I got to the point where I ...
