Even in Hostile Conditions, We Can Bloom and Grow!
Chris Briggs, the British-born creator behind The Past Drives Me Mad podcast, opens up about his deeply personal journey that shaped both his life and his understanding of others' struggles. Now living in the Netherlands with his girlfriend, Chris reflects on the trauma of his childhood, when his mother endured sexual abuse and his father, a people pleaser, allowed emotional abuse in the family. After his father’s passing this year, Chris was propelled to overcome his imposter syndrome and launch his own podcast as a way to process and share his experiences.
In this episode, we explore the themes of isolation and feeling ignored, and how these challenges have driven Chris to empathy, kindness, and a deep understanding of the problems others face. His candidness about his past not only inspired me during our delightful conversation but also ignited the idea for #dkLa! Friends. After recording this episode, I knew I wanted him to be a part of the #dkLa! journey, and we're going to collaborate in some #dkLa! Friends episodes😊 Tune in to hear Chris’s compelling story of resilience, growth, and how he’s turning his pain into purpose.
