The first year after escaping can be a whirlwind of emotions—fear, loneliness, guilt, and self-doubt creeping in when you least expect it. In this episode, we dive into the emotional aftermath of trauma and how your body and mind react in the months that follow.

We also explore the lingering effects of PTSD—flashbacks, anxiety, hypervigilance, and the unexpected ways the past still shows up in daily life. How does trauma reshape your brain and your relationships? How do you relearn trust, attachment, and safety after surviving? Let's unpack the reality of healing, one step at a time.

🎙️ Tune in for a raw and honest conversation about survival, resilience, and rebuilding life after trauma.
