108 | Reflections on Love
I was never one to dream about being a bride or planning a wedding—perhaps I was too busy navigating my life as a trauma hider. However, I did know a few things: I knew who I wanted to be in love, and knew with whom I wanted to be in love. I wanted to be real, honest, vulnerable, and raw, and I wanted my person to be with all of me, even if I didn’t want to deal with all of me. I married the guy who stayed, and not just because he could deal with all of me; he showed up sweetly, tenderly, as a human who felt like home, and continues to 32 years later.
In this episode, I reflect on love as we celebrate the 32nd anniversary of our beautiful wedding. I also discuss the kind of person I wanted to be—and be with—in love, describe our wedding at our family home, and share the most gracious statement my mother has made about me.
