Grief & Loss looks at the many ways we carry absence — not only the people we’ve lost, but the versions of ourselves, the time, and the futures we imagined.
In this conversation, Mike and Sarah Beth talk about how loss reshapes us and how we can honour what was while finding small ways to move forward.
It’s a tender reflection on love, memory, and the quiet strength it takes to keep living with open hearts.

Hope invites us to notice the small glimmers of light even when life feels heavy.
In this episode, Mike and Sarah Beth share how hope shows up during recovery from trauma, and why it matters for anyone facing hard seasons.
They explore practical ways to nurture hope without pressure—through everyday rituals, connection, and the courage to look toward brighter possibilities.

In this episode of The Quiet Between, Mike and Sarah Beth explore the tender theme of self-worth. So often, trauma and harsh inner voices convince us that we are less than we truly are. Together, they reflect on how self-worth is more than achievement or external validation—it’s the quiet recognition of our value simply because we exist. With honest conversation and lived experience, they consider how compassion, boundaries, and hope can help us reclaim a sense of dignity and belonging.

In this episode of The Quiet Between, Mike and Sarah Beth explore the practice of self-compassion — learning to treat ourselves with the same patience, understanding, and kindness we offer to others. For those living with trauma, it’s easy to slip into self-criticism and negative core beliefs, calling ourselves “stupid” or “a failure” when mistakes happen. But self-compassion asks us to pause, soften our words, and see our struggles with honesty and care. By reshaping our inner dialogue, we can begin to heal the wounds left by shame and discover a gentler, more supportive relationship with ourselves.

In this episode of The Quiet Between, Mike and Sarah Beth explore the importance of boundaries in healing, self-care, and relationships. For many living with PTSD or cPTSD, setting boundaries can feel especially hard — it’s often easier with strangers than with the people we love most. Yet healthy boundaries are not rejection, but protection.

Together, Mike and Sarah Beth reflect on why boundaries shift over time, how guilt and fear often get in the way, and what it means to create space for your own needs without losing connection to others.

This is a thoughtful conversation about resilience, emotional health, and the freedom that comes when boundaries are respected.

In this episode of The Quiet Between, Mike and Sarah Beth explore the tender and often challenging process of forgiveness. Is it something we do for others, or is it really an act of self-healing? They reflect on personal experiences, the weight of holding on, and the freedom found in letting go — not to excuse harm, but to release its grip on our lives. With honesty, vulnerability, and warmth, they unpack how forgiveness can reshape our relationship with the past, and open the door to a lighter future.

In this second episode of The Quiet Between, we explore the sharp and often unseen force of the inner critic — that voice in our heads that holds a magnifying glass to our flaws and feeds on shame. We reflect on how it develops, why it can feel so convincing, and how it often rises up as a counterbalance to vulnerability or wounding. Together, we consider how to recognise its tone, respond with compassion, and begin the slow shift from harsh judgment to quiet understanding. Whether you live with trauma or simply struggle with self-worth, you’re not alone here.

In this opening episode of The Quiet Between, we explore the tender concept of the inner child — what it is, why it matters, and how it continues to shape us throughout our lives. This quiet conversation touches on childhood wounds, self-protection, memory, and repair. Gently, we begin to unpick how trauma affects the child within and how listening inward can lead us back to a place of care and safety.
