This week on Was That Trauma?, we’re diving deep into the roots of self-doubt and how past relationship trauma still echoes into our adult lives. From body image struggles to the way childhood TV taught us to normalize men treating women as less than, we’re unpacking it all. We’re asking the hard questions: Why do we question our worth? Why do toxic dynamics feel so familiar? And how do we start rewriting the narrative? Join us for a raw, honest conversation that might just help you connect the dots in your own healing journey.

Buckle up for a raw and real conversation about survival, resilience, and healing.

Episode 1: The Stories That Shaped Us
