*TRIGGER WARNING*

Before you hear this episode I wanted to give you the option to not listen if it will trigger you in any way. Trauma can be tricky in the way that in one moment you can feel completely healed, and then years later you can see/hear/feel something that brings it all back to you.

Its been a very long time since I've gone down this section of memory lane, and my trauma with one particular relationship from my past that shaped who I am as a person today. For a long time this relationship that almost turned into a marriage (TWICE) was one that made me lose a piece of myself that I feared I would never get back. I feared for the better part of a decade that the domestic abuse that I lived through would cause me to be jaded towards not just love, but any kind of trust in relationships in general. And I'd be lying if I said that my sweet husband had one hell of a job convincing me that true, healthy, trustworthy love in another person really does exists. But if I'm honest, as much as I adore that man of mine, U found that love long before I found him. Because after many MANY years of therapy and soul searching, I found it in myself. I hope this episode leaves you with the hope that no matter how hard a situation may seem, there's always brighter days ahead if you seek them out. You are worth more, and you are not alone. #WeGotThis
