Story Work is a narrative, embodied method of engaging your stories of childhood trauma and abuse created by Dr. Dan Allender. In this episode, me and fellow Story Work coach Amy Glazier talk about our experience with finding Story Work, Dan Allender, and The Allender Center. Both of us were trained and certified in Narrative Focused Trauma Care (Story Work) through the Allender Center and have spent the last year soaking in the many, layered benefits this deep, good work has brought to our lives as well as dreaming of ways to bring it to others. It's our hope that more people are able to experience the grief and goodness of Story Work just as we have.

In this episode, I explore what trauma is and isn't. One thing is certain: it's not a buzzword. It's an important conversation centered around real experiences that deeply change us. It's not a matter to be diminished, dismissed or shamed. Instead, what we need is validation, compassion, education, and hope for healing.

In this episode, I talk to spiritual director Kaysie Strickland about whether or not we are allowed to change what we believe. Many of us grew up in churches that did not invite mystery and questioning. Now, as adults, some of us wonder whether the changes we've made in our faith are OK. Some of us have left the faith traditions we grew up in. Some of us have chosen to explore other traditions. Others of us have left the church and, perhaps, God behind entirely because of the lack of compassion shown by those who say they represent him. In this episode, Kaysie and I explore the changes we've made and the very real experiences and feelings behind those changes. We hope you'll find kindness and refuge in our conversation, wherever you are on your journey.
