Welcome back to the podcast, friends! If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my show and we're now connected! Over the last couple of years I have dealt with different health issues - anxiety levels all over the place dealing with serious life stuff, chronic migraines kicked my ass through 2023, I have had period/hormone issues for years that still aren't sorted out. Althoug...

Welcome back to the podcast, friends! If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my show and we're now connected! I'm in a weird season of life right now.

Welcome (back) the podcast, friends! If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected!

Welcome back to the show, friends! If you're new here, I'm so glad you've found my podcast and we're now connected! There is a lot of stigma surrounding mental illness and many misunderstandings about how people should take care of theirs. What kind of resources, habits, and support an individual needs depends on what they're diagnosed with - mental health is complex. I&ap...

Welcome back friends!  If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected!  Life comes with high highs and low lows.

Welcome back, friends!  If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! Before I tell you what today's episode is about, I want to apologize for not getting an episode out last week.

Welcome back to the podcast, friends! If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! For the past month or so I have been feeling both gratitude and grief deeply. I believe as humans no matter how well life may be going, we are always grieving something on someone. I also believe that no matter how hard, scary, or impossible life may get, we can find thin...

Welcome back the podcast, friends! If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! I don't know about you, but the first three months of 2024 went by fast and somehow also dragged on. Through the good days, frustrating moments, and setbacks I found there were three lessons I needed to (re)learn that kept coming up. In today's episode friends, I&a...

Welcome back to the show, friends!  If you're new here, I'm happy you found my podcast and we're now connected!  On today's episode I wanted to discuss something that might be a little bit uncomfortable for some people, but I feel is an important topic to speak openly about.  We know how it feels to be gaslight by someone, but have you ever considered that you could also be doi...

Welcome back, friends! If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! From the title of this podcast, I'm sure one can guess that trauma and mental health are my main focuses here.

Welcome back to Triumph After Trauma, friends! If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! Welcome to the community!

Welcome back to Triumph After Trauma, friends! If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my podcast and we're connected! In my late teens/early 20's when my mental health was at its worst, I heavily struggled with having respect for, liking, or appreciating my body. I didn't like any of me including the body I had, and I didn't see myself through my own eyes. It has t...

Welcome back to Triumph After Trauma, friends! If you've just found my podcast, I'm so glad you're here and we can connect! I recently hit a huge milestone in my life, 10 years clean from self harm, and it honestly feels a little surreal.
