  • #393 | How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body
    Apr 21 2025

    Send us a text

    We often deny our trauma because shame teaches us to stay silent. In this episode, we explore how trauma can hide in plain sight—unacknowledged, minimized, or dismissed simply because it doesn’t “look serious enough.” We share real stories, emotional truths, and gentle encouragement to help you recognize your own experiences. If you've ever felt unseen or invalidated, this conversation is for you.

  • #391 | Why Does Growth Suck SO BAD?
    Apr 14 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the reason growth feels so hard is because we expect it to be easy? In this episode, we unpack why personal growth can feel awful—and why that’s not a bad thing. We explore how chasing quick fixes keeps us stuck and how shifting from “avoiding pain” to “building bravery” can change everything. If you’ve ever felt like giving up on your growth journey, know that you're not alone. We’re in this with you. Tune in for real stories, mindset shifts, and the support you need to keep going—even when it’s tough.
