Let's Talk Elephants
"Let's Talk Elephants" is a series of conversations aimed at addressing all the topics that traditionally make people uncomfortable. Sex, money, politics, education, religion, drugs, and more. If it makes you anxious, chances are that is because it is IMPORTANT. Let's talk about the important things instead of fearing them.

Marrying Too Young
Dawn Bailey, who also happens to be my grandma, got married at a very young age, before she really knew herself or her partner (my grandpa). They were married for 49 years, up until my grandpa's passing three years ago, and they struggled through a tumultuous relationship for a good part of their lives. He was the only person she had ever been with.
Some major topics covered:
- signs of a controlling and possessive partner
- how childhood development, abandonment issues, and attachment styles affect your relationships for the rest of your life (generational trauma)
- the struggle to find your identity when you are too lost in a relationship
