03 I'm still standing with my pal Ash by Nicolaas_32 published on 2020-08-04T17:50:36Z Welcome to episode three of I'm still standing, a podcast about trauma, in this episode I talk to my good pal Ash. We are talking about our own trauma so we can be flippant but hey we went through it, we get to talk about it however we like! Having said that we are discussing rape I think if this is something you don't want to hear about you should listen to another episode, I believe we approach it in a tactful way and are still able to see the light through one of the most painful things a person can experience. We don't go into graphic detail but maybe this is something you don't want to hear, throughout the series we discuss a wide range of traumas so stay tuned for other subjects. Ash is a freckly, passionate and hilarious babe from Byron Bay, we met through a good friend of mine and hit it off immediately. I chose Ash as the first pal to get involved in the pod because she is a wise and witty woman and the way she dealt with her trauma I found inspiring. She is an amazing woman and I can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say. Books mentioned in the pod!
