Welcome + Defining Abuse

Episode 4. Are You Packed?

In this episode, I discuss the experience of packing to leave my abusive relationship and packing during pre-evacuation in the East Troublesome Fire. The checklist and worksheet of the must-remember items I wrote down for myself during the fire pre-evacuation, mentioned in this episode, can be found at iamsafepodcast.com [//www.iamsafepodcast.com]. I considered everything I used in the months after leaving my abusive relationship, what I use now to operate my work/business, what I currently use on a daily basis (toiletries, underwear, pet supplies) and what I could exchange for money were insurance to not come through or cash was needed fast from a pawn or resell. Are *you* packed and ready to go?

Episode 3. Rituals for a New Life

We are back after a 6 month hiatus! In this episode we cover energetic healing modalities and sacred arts rituals that can be anchored into during times of grief and soul retrieval.

Episode 2. The Healing Power of Creativity

In this episode, we talk about Healing Trauma and Meeting with Grief through the Path of Creativity with artist Jennifer Price Davis and Creative Grief Educator and heARTist Kara LC Jones.  We explore what grief is, how it shows up for us, and how to navigate our complex and layered relationship with it through creative expression, wholing and heARTmaking. Let’s go.

Welcome + Defining Abuse

Welcome to the i am safe podcast! This is the first episode of our first season (and sort of like the pilot episode of the series where I introduce myself, my story and the intentions for this podcast and hope you like it) and where we cover examples of various types of abuses that one can experience. My intention for this podcast is to keep the vibe real: not overly edited or slick, in my own voice with my own fuck-ups and stumbles (we’re all real people here and I’m just starting out with this process) and connecting with you in a way that feels like we can chillax with our tea, coffee, cucumber water and snacks and be vulnerable while being safe from judgement and harm.   Here's to living a life of much less fear and a lot more safety.
