Lara and I discussed being raised in Seattle as a free-range child at a time the city was really coming into its own. Plagued with pedophiles and serial killers, by 15 she was on her own and had lost over 15 friends to murder, suicide, and drug overdoses. Despite the struggles, Lara embraced school, diversity and communication with the deaf/blind community. With so much that she personally had to work through, she does work on triggers, boundaries and emotions and how they affect our daily lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
