This episode focuses on two women that are dedicated to breaking the cycle of trauma in their families and who are using their stories as a means to help heal others. First, we hear from Lauren, a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, and pediatrician, who feels that there was no amount of training that could have prepared her for the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the difficulties, she continues to bring comfort to the patients she virtually meets with, all while continuing on the path of reconciling her personal childhood trauma. We also hear from Gina, a pillar of strength for her family and an outspoken advocate in her community. Having lived through the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Gina has found herself in an unsettling but albeit familiar place. In this episode, Gina discusses how she is handling the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the devastating losses and new challenges (good and bad) that it brings.
