Theatre, Acting, Trauma, and Meaning -- a Smattering of Heartfelt Dialogue and Personal Story!

In this episode, I speak with Lena -- a student I met in one of my classes. Lena impressed me with her positive attitude, her lobster costume (yes, she dressed up as a lobster), speeches she prepared for her communication class, and her general willingness to speak about deeper ideas! The conversation took a profitable turn toward how we deal with trauma and emotional peril whilst finding meaning. I was deeply moved by what Lena shared, and I think you will be too!
