The children who went through The Family School like her were good people. They had potential and dreams, but they came out with lifelong trauma: anxious, angry, paranoid, self-hating and in pain. Most of them have suffered lives of hardship, unable to integrate back into society. Hundreds have died, mostly by overdose and suicide.

English | ASIN: B0BV54VHVT | 2023 | 5 hours and 40 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 316 MB
Author: Chari Orozco
Narrator: Chari Orozco
Our emotions drive so much of what we do, say, and think, even if we don't realize it. Our response to our feelings-denying they exist, letting them lead our actions unchecked, distracting ourselves to avoid feeling them-can greatly impact our lives and those around us. Emotions are essential for everyday life, but how we navigate them in the storms of life will make or break us. Written with a wry, straight-talking, irreverent but always faithful tone, Chari effortlessly weaves together stories of the New Testament with her own insightful, humorous, and refreshingly candid anecdotes. The resulting book is an affirmation of feeling all the feels while encouraging listeners to use their emotions as a catalyst for deep spiritual growth.
