Podcast cover

Strangers on a Bench

The podcast explores themes of trauma, addiction, and healing through the life story of a woman who ran away from home at 14. She recounts her experiences as a runaway in London, her struggles with alcohol, and her journey to sobriety after meeting a group of sober individuals at a blues festival in Portland. She details her dysfunctional upbringing in an Irish family in Wales, marked by violence and parental alcoholism, and the impact it had on her life, including a period of homelessness and her mother's early death, for which she felt responsible. Later in life, she lived on a kibbutz in Israel, traveled to Egypt for healing, and now practices sound healing herself. Despite enduring stalker, she is now starting trauma therapy and working towards a future of calm and healing.
