---

---

In this episode, Gabby Reece sits down with Anna Runkle, known online as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, to discuss her new book, 'Connectability'. Anna shares her personal journey of overcoming the long-term effects of growing up in a chaotic home filled with unpredictability, alcoholism, trauma and neglect. She emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, rebuilding trust and fostering meaningful connections with yourself and others. In addition, she sheds light on her own experience in therapy and the epiphany that changed her life and led her to the work she currently does. Though she admits therapy can be helpful for many, she brings up the idea that repetition and rumination weren’t helping her move forward.

Anna describes effective techniques such as written prayer and meditation practices that have helped her and millions of others around the world. The episode also touches on healthy relationships, practical strategies for personal growth and Anna’s unique, hands-on approach to healing childhood trauma.
