I want her to know that her father is a good man and has a big heart and she comes from a line of family built with strength and compassion. I want her to know that life will sometimes wound us but overall it is how we choose to practice self-love and care and allow ourselves to grow through what we have been through, that shapes us. This episode is Legacy!</p>no00:08:311Grateful Wounds: Special Dedication Episodefull<![CDATA[Grateful Wounds: Ep. 1 Intro to My Story]]>Hello and Welcome to the Grateful Wounds Podcast. My names is Tanasha Allwood and I am the host. In this deeply personal episode 1, I share with listeners the moment that altered the course of my life, when my son was first incarcerated. I reflect on Motherhood, Grief, Shame, and the beginning of my Healing journey that I never expected to take.

Sometimes Life Changes in a single moment. Whether it be with a phone call. A knock at the door. There comes a time in life where everything you thought your life would be...suddenly shifts. For me that moment was when my son was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

As a mother, nothing prepares you for this kind of pain! Fear, Shame, Guilt along with the questions that you ask yourself over and over again. Where did I go wrong? Did I fail him? Why me God? Why Me? Should I have stayed in a toxic marriage so my son could have two parents? And so on.

In this first episode of the Grateful Wounds Podcast, I want to take you back to the moment my life changed and the beginning of the journey that eventually led me to healing.
