Real Resilience is now a PODCAST

Crystal Wyatt 5/13/191:13 PM

To my Philadelphia ACEs Team, if you haven't heard from me in a while it's because I've been healing in the wake of secondary trauma and compassion fatigue from operating my van service to the prisons and creating a program for women who support an incarcerated loved one called, Real Resilience. Yes, I really did both simultaenously, with no staff (just lil ole' me), and it drained all my strength, emotionally and physically. But, I'm proud to report that I've figured out the best way for me and so many other women who share in the journey of loving someone on the inside to come out on top of this!

You know what I did? I started a Podcast. Battling compassion fatigue, I also realized that within the narrative of criminal justice reform, women are somehow being left out of the conversation and this is my way of adding them in the narrative.

So, without futher ado, I present to you the Real Resilience P.W.L. (Prison Wife Life) podcast! Here, you will hear firsthand experiences from women who have faced the vicarious trauma of incarceration but have remained resilient in through it all.

Crystal,

So sorry to hear that you have pushed yourself to the point of secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, but that is what we sometimes do when driven by a passion to make a real difference in the lives of people who are in dire need of support. It's clear from the video that you are deeply committed to the work that you do and the women you do it for. I hope that as you continue to give so much of yourself to the women of your community with incarcerated loved ones that you will take time to take care of yourself too -- you deserve it, and without that, they might not have you.

Congratulations on getting the podcast up and running, and thank you for sharing this here with us. I will give it a listen.
