Memoir Series: Growing Pains 3 - A New Medical Diagnosis (Launch Your Life Podcast Episode 164)

On today’s episode of the Launch Your Life Podcast, I share how I developed a deep love of travel, a childhood illness, more stories of the House of Many Horrors, a recurring night terror, and much more.

True growth is uncovering the beliefs and stories you created as a child to make sense of perceived or real trauma. It can be tedious, painful, and meticulous work. 

But bringing your rational, adult mind to the stories you create in your childhood is freeing.
