2. Meet Kristy at Emotional Baggage Claim

Kristy shares the detailed story of when she was institutionalized and put in the psych ward in a Children's Hospital at age 12. We explore how well-meaning adults can significantly change the course of someone's childhood and how the approach to mental health care has changed since 2002. Content warning: violence.
Highlights:

• Defining "Emotional Baggage"
• Being bullied and being the bully
• Acting out from childhood emotional neglect

Takeaway:

• Everyone has a vulnerable story
• Making assumptions serves no one. You never know what is beyond the surface level
• Talking out loud about your traumatic experiences helps you process it for yourself

Let Kristy & Angie what cringy and uncomfortable conversation topics you would like to listen to!
