RS: You talk a lot about the importance of sharing our stories. Why’s that?
BP: People’s hearts and minds are changed by storytelling. They’re changed by hearing other people’s experiences. If you don’t have access to seeing someone else’s lived experience, then it’s very easy to shut down and not be empathetic. Storytelling engenders empathy and the idea—the correct idea—that we are more alike than we are different. I really believe that it ends up being beneficial for everybody. – Busy Philipps
Real Life of an MSW 
This reminds me of scripture. The word is wanting on the manifestations of the sons of God! It also reminds me of the scripture that says we overcome by the words of our testimony and the blood of the lamb! There is a reason for the madness. For the upheavals, and I honestly more often than not it has nothing to do with the person going through but instead to be strength to someone else on their path!

Yes, my grandmother was fond of saying, “Make your mess your message” in other words, let someone else be wise enough to learn from your mistakes!
