Let’s really examine those “paper cuts,” the little digs that emotionally affected us during our childhoods. Whether it was something seemingly innocuous someone said that really stuck with us or an experience we were denied as kids, those paper cuts can add up and change how we move about the world. But the cool thing is… paper cuts can heal!

Ashley chats about those “paper cuts” with clinician, Amanda Garza, LPC, from Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services , and Houston Moms Contributor, Tiffany Harris, about how we move forward, heal, and honor our inner child or teenager who collected those hurts. 

“Spill the Tea” Win:

Ashey got to visit San Francisco for a few days, sans kids! Such a charming city with diverse people, sites, and food! 

“Cream and Sugar” Recommendations: 

San Antonio is underrated! Ashley and her boys visited the Alamo City during Spring Break and it was worth the trip! LegoLand, Sea Life , and learning more about the Alamo were the perfect adventure!
