Sometimes life invites you to pause. Not because you’ve run out of things to say or do… but because your body and soul say, “it’s time to take a break.”

This is where I find myself now.

How did I get here?

Thank you for being part of this journey — for listening, for reflecting, for feeling alongside me. You have no idea how much that means.

I’ll see you again in 2026. And I have a feeling we’ll both return — a little softer, a little wiser, and with hearts ready for whatever’s next.

See you soon my loves.

When Valerie left home in her mid-twenties, she thought she was stepping into a new chapter.

But like so many survivors, the past wasn’t left behind—it showed up again, this time in the shape of a relationship

On the surface, she looked like she had it together: a career as a teacher, a stable life.

But behind closed doors, she was living in a secret storm.

It was the same survival pattern she learned as a child: endure chaos, accept neglect, and convince herself that it was love.

What Valerie didn’t realize then is something many survivors eventually discover—that when the past isn’t healed, it doesn’t stay in the past.

It resurfaces, disguised as love, disguised as fate. And so, what began as a relationship turned into a mirror—reflecting all the buried wounds she thought she’d left behind.

And that’s where part two of Valerie’s story begins.

My next guest is 71 years old. She still rises each day with curiosity, passion, and a deep love for life — proving that healing isn’t bound by age, and growth has no expiration date. She is warm, patient, kind, and with a great personality!

Like so many women, her story began in a family shaped by both love and pain — a tapestry of warmth and joy interwoven with betrayal, violence, and trauma. And yet, she chose to keep walking, keep learning, and keep rising.

For the sake of her privacy, we kept her name anonymous, and we listen to her story of courage.

The only purpose of sharing her story is so that others who may be discouraged on the healing journey, may get the strength to continue.

She has given consent to record and release her story.

A gentle but important warning.

This episode contains sensitive themes that may bring up strong emotions. What you’re about to hear is a personal story of trauma and healing, shared with honesty and courage.

Remember: you are in charge of your healing journey.

And as always, this podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling.
