Summary:

This episode features Grae Gonzalez, a singer/songwriter and long-time friend of Elisha’s. She tells her story of losing her toe at the young age of 24 and the journey with healing she has been on since. This is raw and vulnerable. It is both fascinating to listen to and sometimes a little bit hard, but it's an amazing conversation.

Trigger warning: some issues discussed are in graphic detail, lots of strong adult language is used throughout this episode, and there is discussion around suicide.
