What Did You Perform in Order to Survive?

6 min
View

Welcome to the first episode of Notes From the Edge.

I’m Lisa Lacy, writer, trauma educator, executive advisor, author of the upcoming memoir Notes From a Certified Madwoman, and its field guide companion, The Psychology of Performing™.

In this opening episode, I share why this podcast exists, the question that changed my life, and the conversations we’ll be having here. Together, we’ll explore high-functioning survival, identity, trauma, addiction, recovery, leadership, relationships, mental health, reinvention, and the roles people perform in order to survive.

Because sometimes what looks like personality is adaptation.

Sometimes what gets labeled as dysfunction is survival.

And sometimes the life that saved you becomes the life that confines you.

The question at the center of it all:

What did you perform in order to survive?

Human conversations about the things people don’t talk about… but need to.

Welcome to the Edge.
