In this very first episode, very first season of Going There with Jen Vertanen, I'm telling you about all the things I could tell you about my journey like my emotionally abusive childhood and subsequent lifelong traumas, promiscuity, becoming a mom when I didn't want to be a mom, loneliness, depression, and so on and so on.But I don't. I save these stories for later because Going There isn't just about me..it's about all of us. It's about sharing our stories to help heal us all. It's about not feeling alone. It's about tenacity and resiliency and grit and grace. It's about laughter and pain, joy and heartache. It's about feeling the full range of experiences and emotions - playing in the dichotomies and paradoxes. And it's about so much more... Welcome. Thank you for being on this journey with me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
