I am grateful to Karl and Laura--two amazingly kind and generous people-- for all their support and the insights I have gained and continue to gain from their work. It is always thought provoking.

I met Matt Tebbe when asked to be a guest on the Gravity Podcast which he co-hosts and his writing never fails to both resonate and encourage me to put on my thinking cap!

Chrystal and I found each other in one of my online Brave groups a few years ago. We have walked alongside each other as survivors and healers. I find her writing so calming and insightful and encouraged her to start writing here and have been slow to add her to my list of recommended Substacks!

Laura and I met as volunteers for the Attachment & Trauma Network. She describes herself as a "World Languages professor and writer raised in the Finger Lakes, now living in southeast Kentucky Mom to 3 kids, 3 cats, and 1 dog Grandmother of 1," Her sharing of her grandmother's journal, love of nature, thoughts on aging, and topics of political concern provide the eclectic writing that delights me.

Charles Kiser and I are on the same page as to how the church can become trauma-informed, sensitive, and responsive. His book Trauma-Informed Evangelism provides that framework and now he is offering more resources here!

David and I are both Co-founders of the Religious Trauma Network (RTN). I am grateful for his friendship and the wisdom that is so evident in his writing!

Writing that draws from the simple events of life with humor and a gift of well-chosen words is appreciated. The courage to embrace a life as a trauma survivor--and learning to ride a bicycle at 56--called for a conversation and a recommendation!

This author and I share a focus on the attachment relationship that begins in early childhood. This series highlights parenting practices that either harm or support healthy attachment.

Susan Frybort's poetry class and poetry book, "Look to the Clearing: Poems to Encourage" have been such an encouragement to me on my healing journey--so glad to support her work here on Substack!

I have spoken at the Broken to Beloved conferences and respect the work that Brian is doing to support those who have been impacted by religious trauma--in ways that allow everyone to find a spiritual path that avoids harm and promotes healing.
