Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. Vicarious trauma occurs when someone witnesses a traumatic event and feel the full impact of it. Jason and Jolene discuss their own experiences with vicarious trauma, and how common a phenomenon it is, despite what people might think.

In this bonus episode, Jolene shares her life's story and her battles with shyness, her father's suicide, and an attempt to take her own life. Through conversations with Jason, the duo learn no life is perfect, and there is no obstacle that can't be overcome.
