This week on The Traumedy Show, Emily Rose, founder of The Mama Wilder Foundation, details her story of surviving domestic violence, financial abuse and the isolation that came with marrying into a religious cult. She takes us through the painful unraveling of that life—how control was disguised as faith and how she ultimately found the strength to leave.

But her story doesn’t end there. Emily fought her ex-husband in criminal and family court for domestic violence and for custody of her children. And, in a stunning turn, her now-husband helped her take back her power—by cross-examining her narcissistic mother in the courtroom. It’s a story of pain, escape, the pursuit of justice and the kind of love that helps you rebuild.

In this deeply moving episode of The Traumedy Show, we’re joined by content creator and grief guru Alexa Norton, who opens up about the sudden loss of her father eight years ago. Alexa shares what it was like to experience profound grief at a young age, how that loss shaped her identity and what healing has looked like in the years since.

Together, we talk about the messy, nonlinear nature of grief, the pressure to “move on” and the small things that have helped Alexa stay connected to her dad while continuing to move forward. She also offers gentle, compassionate advice for anyone navigating grief—whether it’s fresh or something you’ve been carrying for years.

This one is for anyone who’s felt the ache of loss and wondered how to keep going. You’re not alone.
