Carissa Peterson, wife, mother, sister, daughter (my daughter) friend, entrepreneur & business owner.
I could go on and on about my girl as I'm sure most parents could about their kids.
In this episode of Ordinary Courage, I have Carissa back with me and we dive deeper into her story, all the messiness. We talk about the aftereffects of trauma and abuse and learning to live through it all, putting in the hard work and the beautiful part of it when we can go from blaming our abuser and traumatic experiences, to taking full responsibility for our lives and turning our trauma into a victorious life worth living, giving and sharing.
We discuss addiction and recovery and how that looks different for everybody- Carissa describes her recovery journey as the "poo poo platter" coined from Brene Brown's blog.
We get down to some real nitty gritty in this episode and I've never been more proud of my girl for fully showing up in her arena. This is what bravery looks like fully undressed.
