Collecting stories for my upcoming book

Hello, Patrons!

I hope you are well. I'm working on a book that will be a comedic look at childhood trauma, adult trauma, depression, breaking up with your parents and getting to know yourself for the first time. I'm titling the book based off of my favorite catch phrase, "Congrats on Not Killing Yourself!"

I've been deeply moved by the Group Share-apy zooms over the years and with each day I live on this planet, it becomes abundantly more clear that community is an essential and potent element to healing the mind and body.

Corinne and I wrote a book a few years back that included excerpts from listener emails that moved us, and I'd like to do something similar with this book. I believe every human is a living, breathing library. And your stories contain nuggets of wisdom that can make other people feel less alone.

If you're interested in partaking, here's what I'll need:

• 1-2 sentences that summarize the most traumatic events, circumstances and/or people of your life. And, if applicable, another 1-2 sentences on how you got through it. If you're stilling going through it, you could include how, but totally up to you.

• These can be anonymous, or you can include your name (first name or full name) - whichever you prefer.

You can send these to me in one of three ways:

• comment on this post

• message me on Patreon

• DM me on Instagram (@https://www.instagram.com/krystynahutch)

Thank you In advance for sharing your stories with me <3
