In this episode I speak with a friend of mine, Kirsten Ellis, about her personal and painful experience fleeing the Pacific Palisades fire (PPF). Kirsten has spent her entire life in the beautiful community of the Palisades and is now trying to come to terms with that fact that it was completely decimated and no longer exists as she knew it.
We also explore the mindset of native Californian's like Kirsten who have been facing the threat of fire their entire lives, because people who don't live in CA don't understand why us "crazy" people do. In addition, we broke down what went well and what was problematic with evacuations and even give some tips on preparing for the possibility of fires if you live in an area that is at risk.
I invited Kirsten to share her story on the podcast because I wanted to hear her account of the PP Fire, so that she can begin to make some sense out of all of it and process the magnitude of emotions she is experiencing as a result of it. It really takes a lot of courage to come on the podcast to share a story as painful as this one so kudos to Kirsten for her willingness to do that!
