Details
In this opening episode, we explore the foundational moment when survival instincts first emerge under systemic and familial neglect. Through a trauma-informed, survivor-centered lens, the narrative honors early resilience without romanticizing suffering. Listeners are invited to reflect on how survival begins invisibly, often without language or witness. This episode foregrounds narrative identity theory (McAdams, 1996) while honoring it's Indigenous and African diasporic traditional roots.
