In this episode of Crow Radio, Star talks candidly about processing trauma and moving forward, working through some trauma in real time, and reflecting on a past relationship involving deception and manipulation.
A little storytime with Star about why being deceived doesn’t make someone a fool, the impossibility of knowing another person’s true intentions, recognizing warning signs of abuse, and why walking away can require careful untangling.
We also explore honoring free will, leaving abusive relationships cleanly, retaining joy, and remembering that joy, love, and hope are innate.

“I want a life where I sleep, eat, drink, and play as I need to, and I work because I like to,” I tell him wistfully, daydreaming.

Raven talks about the littles and her role managing ourselves and our creative endeavors, self-parenting, milestones, and a love letter to our littles. She explores a few gifts that have come from trauma, the many facets of love, and how difficult love can be for a trauma survivor.

Finally, Raven reflects on overwhelm and trees, letting ourselves take breaks without guilt, tending the internal world, and finding alignment with self and the world within.

A Lokean Devotional Vignette
Rest does not mean you cannot do things.
Rest means putting down what can wait and doing what you feel like doing, what refreshes you.
“Rest from. Not rest because,” Loki teaches me.
