Taboo Topics: How To Talk About Them - Special Guest: Carolina Reid


This episode is all about what is taboo!


With a very special guest, CrisMarie and Susan go through a wonderful conversation about those things that are often not talked about and kept kind of a secret. Carolina Reid, their niece, joins them and shares her perspective and reflections on her own family’s history regarding Susan’s book: Crazy, Cracked, Warm, and Deep. The three of them also reflect on the concept of “container” when it comes to situations. They also encourage you to find out which activities help you digest emotions, events, and whatever crosses your mind. Taboo topics also relate to knowing how to deal with conflict, so they all brought situations in their life in which notifying the other party that their thoughts we heard, is more than enough.


No one knows why some topics are taboo for a person, but what we know is that we can slowly start talking about them.
