Kayla and Melissa are scheduled to have a few more interviews but Kayla doesn’t make it to any of them. Melissa is worried that Kayla is triggered by the first conversation they had where Kayla talked about the devastating trauma she experienced as a child. Melissa thinks maybe she’s hiding from the world, trying to comfort herself curled in a ball under the covers. But Melissa is wrong.
Kayla Gordon, Jeep Roberts and Susan Beaulieu have started a journey — shaking loose from depression, addiction, and dissociation and walking with more laughter, lightness and love. They struggle with the same feelings many of us have, but this is the story of their work to heal. They are acknowledging the trauma that was passed down to them as children. It’s a journey and we each get to decide when and how we move forward.
A Mile in my Moccasins hosted by Melissa Townsend, a 12 episode podcast from Niijii Radio serving the White Earth Nation. It’s a story about learning how to live the life you want after surviving trauma.
