In this episode, I'm chatting with author Lisa Gerardy about her upcoming memoir, "Chasing Normal." Together, we uncover her journey of courage and resilience as she bravely shares her childhood experiences of sexual abuse. This honest conversation reveals the strength it took to write and share her story with the world.
We discuss Lisa's complex relationship with her mother, who, despite her love, couldn't protect her from the abuse. We explore the lasting impact of this trauma on Lisa's life and relationships and acknowledge the harmful societal stigmas and victim-blaming attitudes she's encountered. Her journey to break free from these patterns is both inspiring and empowering.
Remarkably, Lisa used humor as a coping mechanism, a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable trauma. "Chasing Normal" looks at one woman's extraordinary journey to reclaim her story and redefine her sense of normalcy. Join us as we explore the complexities of trauma, survival, and the incredible power of the human spirit.
Lisa Gerardy is a proud member of the gig economy, teaching college writing at three universities online. When she is not trying to detect AI and correct apostrophe errors, she is sharing her cringe-worthy childhood with complete strangers online. Her soon-to-be-published memoir is called Chasing Normal: Finding Love After Surviving Physical and Emotional Abuse. Lisa lives in Phoenix with her long-suffering husband and cherishes visits from her son who lives too far away. She accepts love, slobber, and many bruises from her Great Danes in her spare time.
