Flat Tire Andy's "Ride With Me" Podcast

Before introducing your kids to a new boyfriend or girlfriend, think about what could happen. A new person can be confusing for a child. If that person becomes verbally or physically abusive, it can cause fear, stress, and lasting hurt. Kids need safety, stability, and time to adjust—not another person who could hurt them.

In this deeply personal episode, Caralyn shares her journey as a survivor of sexual assault, focusing not on the event itself, but on the long and complex process of healing that followed. From anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm to rebuilding trust and a sense of safety, she opens up about the invisible weight trauma can carry and how it can reshape identity, mental health, and daily life.
