Hi guys, welcome back to the Balanced Bond podcast, Solon Fire.

So I thought it was time for another solo episode.

I did my first ever solo episode with you guys a month ago and it was on trauma and

it got real personal, real fast.

And I have to say that episode was the most therapeutic experience I have ever had.

And I listened to that podcast episode probably 12 or 13 times after it came out, which is

pretty out of character for me.

I usually listen to the episodes once, maybe twice all the way through after they're finished.

I couldn't stop listening to that one because it was so healing for me to hear that story

over and over and over again.

And I think each time I listened to it, I felt a little bit more healed from the experience,

even though it was a full decade ago.

As you can tell, if you listened to it, I believe very much that trauma sticks with you

for your whole life and you just have to find ways to deal with it.

That was a really healing episode for me to do.

And I feel like it kind of transitioned the way that I feel about sharing on this podcast

and made me really comfortable, really comfortable just being me and talking into the microphone,

which at first I wasn't sure how that would feel for me.

But it felt really natural and really authentic.

And I kind of like the vibe sometimes of just talking to you guys and not balancing

another energy and all the guests on this podcast have been so wonderful.

And I have like five or six interviews recorded that are coming out over the next few weeks
