1. Overcoming the Intergenerational Trauma Around Drowning Nicole Christina 42:58

For anyone who has ever feared water or wished they’d learn to swim, this episode is for you. I met our Susana Mueller at a podcasting conference I recently attended. She introduced herself and said she thought she knew me. A chemist originally from Cuba, now a resident of Florida, I don’t think our paths ever crossed. But we talked about her podcast, On the Green Plantain, and I heard her captivating story of overcoming her fear of swimming as an older adult. This was no traditional learn to swim program. Learn how Susana overcame intergenerational trauma and became a swimming instructor. It is a touching and inspiring story.
