Hello! My sister and I have a podcast called Project Tell Your Story where we interview survivors of trauma and abuse to hear their story of survival and resiliency! We cover several different topics such as SA, miscarriage, physical and emotional abuse, first responder stories, and SI. So if you’ve been through something unthinkable, then you have a story the world needs to hear and we want to be the ones to help you share it. Let me know if you’re interested and we can get the process started.

Hey Reddit.
If you could write a letter to your younger self, what would it say?
My sister and I host a podcast where people share real stories about surviving trauma, healing, resilience, and life experiences.
We ask this question to our guests at the end of every episode, and we’d love to hear your answers too.
We are really wanting to do an episode entirely made of answers to this questions so we may anonymously read some responses from this thread on an upcoming episode.
