Voices in your head

I’m thinking about the indelible messages we get from our parents, and how they influence us. You hear their voices in your head even years later, even when you yourself are old. The poem (there’s always a poem) tells you quite a lot about my own childhood. My five sisters and I were lucky, but what if you get a destructive message that won’t go away? That’s not fair, and I’ve got a few suggestions to make it better.

    The good news is that I have been able to download episodes 1 and 3 from Stitcher. I have been unable to find 2. It doesn’t show up for some reason. It is a kick to get to listen to you. Too bad we live so far apart. It would be fun to have coffee and talk.

      Annoying a out Episode 2. My hunch is that it will turn up one day. I am glad the podcast makes you want to chat back!

  3. I love your new adventure, and I welcome your parents advice. Thank you Rachel.

  4. Interesting and pleasant listening!
