How the Light Gets In 8 - Trauma Ties

"You are weird but you can't help it." This is what one of Julie's eighth-grade classmates wrote in her yearbook. Little did she know that it was a kind of a prophecy, simply stating that Julie was different from the rest of the children, but also with some compassion perhaps that this weirdness was not something over which Julie herself had much control. Decades later, she learned that this weirdness had a name: trauma. In this episode, Julie shares her experience with recognizing and working to heal from her trauma. Maybe you’ll see yourself in her story. Maybe you’ll find comfort knowing that you are not alone and that there is hope. 

Julie Scipioni, co-author of the bestselling novel series, "Iris & Lily" is your host. Through How the Light Gets In, Julie explores cracks in all their mysterious and troubling forms and uses them to help us find our way to a more meaningful, compassionate - and even humorous - life experience.
