Last week, Elli shared her story. This week, I’m sharing mine — the view from the doorway as a mom watching her girl fade into the dark and trying not to be swallowed by fear in the process.

In this Naked Notes episode, I talk honestly about the helplessness, the panic, the urge to fix, and the slow, painful work of learning to lead with patient love instead of anxious control. If you’re parenting a child through trauma, mental health, or a season that feels impossibly heavy, I hope this feels like a hand on your back reminding you that you’re not alone.

Note: this episode includes references to sexual trauma and anxiety.
