In the first episode of The Joy of Being You, I sit down with Lisa Gerardy, a writer, educator, and survivor with a gift for turning pain into prose. In her memoir, Chasing Normal: Finding Love After Surviving Physical and Emotional Abuse, Lisa shares her journey through a traumatic childhood and the winding path she took toward self-acceptance and love.

Lisa opens up about her struggles, the turning points that led to healing, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. We discuss the importance of self-acceptance, resilience, and the power of healthy relationships. Lisa also emphasizes the significance of seeking help and how love and support can be truly transformative. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar challenges, reminding us all that healing is possible and that we have the power to shape our own paths toward happiness.
