TRIGGER WARNINGS *Childhood Trauma* *Overcoming Toxic Habits and Patterns* *Daddy Issues*

In this episode, Bridget and KeAnna interview Clarissa Foster. Healing from unresolved trauma and mending relationships, Clarissa shares how her healing began when she realized and acknowledged that she too needed to be held accountable, it wasn't just everyone else. And that it all started with her learning to look within first and foremost and choosing better for herself. Which led her to healing relationships with her father, mother, partner, siblings, and having an even better relationship with her children. When she began making jewelry as a self soothing practice, it changed her life because she had found something she loved doing and was passionate about, and that also positively poured into her. Clarissa soon turned this safe healing space into a business where she could create jewelry pieces out of love to help heal others. Her healing became the gift that keeps on healing.
