If you struggle with trust, relationships, or feeling safe in your own body—this conversation will change how you see yourself.

In this episode of Keeping It Real on Purpose, Edna White sits down with Sally Jones, child protection advocate and founder of SQS4KIDS, to break down the truth about trauma, self-trust, and emotional safety.

Sally shares how early childhood trauma impacts your nervous system, why your reactions are adaptations—not flaws—and how self-trust can be rebuilt over time.

This is not about “fixing yourself.” This is about learning what safety actually feels like—and building it from within.

In this episode, we cover:

• How childhood trauma affects trust and relationships
• Why you don’t have trust issues—you have safety wounds
• The connection between nervous system regulation and healing
• How to rebuild self-trust after trauma
• Why healing is about safety—not strength

If you’ve ever felt like love had to be earned, endured, or survived—this episode is for you.
