What About Me

In this opening episode, your host shares the honest and vulnerable story behind why this podcast was created. After experiencing a series of traumatic events three years ago — including divorce and a complete identity shift — she turned to online communities, motivational speakers, and podcasts for support. The encouragement she received became the foundation of her healing. Now, she’s here to give that same support back.

What this episode covers:

• How trauma led to a full reinvention rather than returning to an “old self”
• Choosing a legal name change as part of rebuilding identity
• The role social media groups and podcasts played in her healing
• Why sharing stories, research, and resources matters
• Encouragement for those walking a similar path
• The central question of this podcast: “What about me?”

What listeners will gain:

• Validation for the emotions that come with trauma
• Hope from someone who is further along in the healing process
• Practical encouragement, empathy, and direction
• A reminder that healing is possible — even when it doesn’t feel like it

In this heartfelt episode, your host shares her vision for Season 1 and why this podcast exists: to remind everyday people — the ones who feel invisible, unheard, or forgotten — that their experiences matter. She opens up about the moments that made her believe she was alone in her pain, and the truth she learned as she stepped into the world of healing and community:
Nothing happens to us singularly.

Through her own journey of trauma, heartbreak, and rebuilding, she discovered that thousands of others walk similar paths. Now her mission is to give a voice to the people who rarely get the spotlight — the “little man and woman” whose stories deserve to be seen and honored.

In this episode, she explores:

• Why her first season will touch on many different life experiences
• The power of seeing your story reflected in someone else’s
• The loneliness that comes from broken relationships and trauma
• How trauma shapes who we become and why healing feels isolating
• Why everyday people’s stories matter just as much as experts and influencers
• The importance of sharing your truth so others feel less alone
• How knowledge, community, and storytelling help us heal
• The transformation that comes from choosing self-love
• Why loving yourself must come before seeking it from anyone else
• What personal empowerment looks like after deep emotional pain

Core Message:
You are not alone in your struggle.
You are not weak for hurting.
You are not “too much” for needing support.

Your story has value — and someone else’s healing may depend on hearing it.

In this raw and honest episode, your host shares the moment everything shifted — when confusion, gaslighting, emotional abuse, and broken relationships finally collided with clarity. Once the truth was undeniable, she knew the life she was living could no longer continue.

She opens up about walking away from a marriage, grieving multiple relationships at once, and facing the fear of being alone. What followed was the hardest journey of her life: rebuilding herself, choosing peace, and learning to love the person she is today.

In this episode:

• Recognizing emotional abuse and gaslighting
• How clarity changes everything
• Choosing peace over chaos
• Grieving relationships that collapse without warning
• The reality of healing after divorce
• Why shortcuts don’t work — you must walk through the pain
• Rebuilding self-worth and reclaiming your voice
• Learning to pour love back into yourself

In this deeply personal episode, your host opens up about the questions so many of us quietly ask:
When do we realize childhood trauma shaped us? How long does it take to identify emotional abuse? Why is gaslighting so hard to recognize until it’s too late? Why do we stay in relationships where we are taken for granted?

She shares her honest journey of ruminating over broken relationships, grieving connections that ended without explanation, and trying to understand why patterns repeated. Her life changed drastically three years ago when three of her closest relationships collapsed in the same season — leaving her shattered, spiraling, and forced to rebuild from the ground up.

But through the pain came a truth she now lives by: you matter.

This episode explores the importance of self-love, self-respect, and no longer accepting less than you deserve. Your host shares how choosing herself, honoring her worth, and treating herself with the same care she once reserved for others finally brought peace, clarity, and healing.

What this episode covers:

• Recognizing emotional abuse, gaslighting, and being taken for granted
• How unhealed trauma shapes our relationships
• Why unexplained disconnects hurt so deeply
• Grieving friendships and relationships that once felt safe
• The moment everything collapsed — and what it sparked
• Rebuilding identity after loss
• How self-love becomes the path back to wholeness
• Encouragement for listeners who are still hurting
