What happens after the sentence ends,but the trauma doesn’t?

In this powerful episode of the No Street Lights Podcast, Fabian shares his remarkable journey from prison and addiction to peace and purpose. Diagnosed with severe PTSD, Fabian struggled with sleepwalking, grief, and emotional paralysis until psychedelic therapy and self-forgiveness opened a path to healing.

This episode dives deep into the misunderstood intersections of trauma, psychedelics, meditation, Buddhism, and quantum physics. Fabian speaks openly about the dual nature of psychedelics: a tool for both healing and harm, depending on how they’re used. We also explore why integration, intention, and community are crucial parts of recovery, and how healing can happen soul-to-soul even without words.

🧠 Topics Covered:

• Life after incarceration and the emotional toll of PTSD

• How addiction is tied to unprocessed trauma, shame, and survival

• Psychedelic therapy: risks, rewards, and the science of neuroplasticity

• Meditation, Buddhism, and the connection between quantum theory and self-awareness

• The importance of “finding your people” and the long road to forgiveness

Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation will leave you with a deeper understanding of what it means to truly let go—and move forward.

“I used to think healing couldn’t happen inside a relationship. Then I found someone who was healing, too.” — Nicole Ash

Nicole Ash spent years angry at the world, and at herself. As a child, she was often misunderstood. As a teen, jaded. And as a young woman, she learned how to use others before they could use her. But in this raw and revealing conversation, Nicole peels back the layers of a deeply personal journey, one where healing didn’t start in solitude, but in connection.

In this episode, Nicole shares how meeting Aaron, someone equally familiar with trauma, rewired her beliefs about love, growth, and what it means to heal together. She talks about confronting the emotional ghosts that shaped her early years, redefining what love looks like, and recognizing the spectrum of healing instead of chasing a perfect “before and after.”

Nicole also unpacks her version of the “four horsemen” of relationship destruction, and how gaslighting nearly derailed her ability to trust. But in finding Aaron, she didn’t just find a partner—she found a mirror. One that reflected both the work she still had to do and the woman she was becoming.

This episode is about more than surviving your past. It’s about learning that healing isn’t about waiting until you’re “ready.” It’s about starting, even when you’re still in pieces.

🧠 Things You’ll Find in This Episode:

• How anger shaped Nicole’s early identity

• Breaking the cycle of “use or be used”

• Healing in a relationship vs. healing alone

• The emotional evolution of trust, vulnerability, and cohabitation

• Gaslighting and the hidden dynamics that kill relationships

• The spectrum of healing and why “progress” looks different for everyone

Is your anxiety really yours, or inherited?

In this episode of No Street Lights Core, Aaron and Tim dig deep into what generational trauma actually is… and what it definitely is not. You’ve seen the Instagram quotes. The TikToks. The therapy-speak used like zodiac signs. But real intergenerational trauma has roots in history, psychology, and even epigenetics.

In this episode, we explore:

• What science actually says about trauma passed through generations
  

• Why terms like “generational trauma” are being misused on social media
  

• The red flags that indicate inherited trauma vs. personal patterns
  

• Tools for identifying and healing trauma that isn’t entirely yours
  

• How to replace toxic cycles with healthy boundaries, rituals, and community
  

🔎 Featuring real psychological research from the children of Holocaust survivors to modern trauma theory, plus practical advice for breaking the cycle.

This is mental health education, not pop psych bait.

Let’s separate the truth from the trends, and help you reclaim your story.

🧠 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What intergenerational trauma really means (scientifically)
  

• Why some emotions feel bigger than the situation
  

• How your great-grandparents’ trauma could still influence your nervous system
  

• The difference between discomfort and actual trauma
  

• 5 steps toward healing: awareness, boundaries, support, new traditions, and self-compassion
