Many of us have gone through some stage of bullying as a child – some more than others. I speak with fellow writer and podcaster Christopher Gronlund about how we were both bullied as kids, what we did to get through it, and how it affects us as adults. I then talk about how we can resolve our feelings from being bullied and take care of this inner child we carry around with us.
