Across the Kitchen Table with Elwood Brant
Everybody has a story to tell. And there was a time when we would share those stories around the kitchen table. Laughing, telling jokes, talking about the events of the day. Heated debates, tragic loss, living life. The kitchen table is where we could share our lives. So come sit with me and my friends as conversation unfolds across the kitchen table.

If there was ever an episode to listen to...it's this one! My sister and I are a hoot! (At least, we think so.)
Our discussion goes all over the place, but one specific and heavy topic is childhood trauma. Whether it's from a parent, bullies at school, or some other event, childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on a person. Nadine Burke Harris gives a good TedTalk on the subject. Click here to watch it.
On a lighter note, here are some pics to enjoy:
