In this episode I go over the definition of Fawn Response and reflect on how I showed some signs of it during Episode 2. We also talk about what to expect from future episodes moving forward.

In this episode I tell my friend Madeline about my trip to San Diego. I talk about why I was going, how I prepared myself, and how it all played out.

I talk about:

• Learning about how sensitive I am to the energy around me
• How my nervous system takes on stress from others
• Different scenarios that caused me trauma in the past
• Tools I used to help protect my energy this time
• How the trip went now that I had these tools

(Btw we filmed a separate episode of us introducing Madeline to everyone but it'll take some time to post it because it's mostly just us rambling.)

Why I'm making a podcast.

• I used to be afraid of posting on social media
• I learned that making separate accounts gave me permission to post more freely without it being my entire identity
• Started having health issues
• No energy to talk on phone
• Memory problems and need to document so I would not forget my experience
• Started posting on close friends on IG
• Surprised at how much it helped me and how much others were interested
• Realized my fear of posting was fear of being judged by people
• So now I am posting this to tell my story and not be afraid of judgement
• And hope it helps someone with their health journey or help someone feel less alone

Audio and production quality will improve over time with future episodes :)
