We often deny our trauma because shame teaches us to stay silent. In this episode, we explore how trauma can hide in plain sight—unacknowledged, minimized, or dismissed simply because it doesn’t “look serious enough.” We share real stories, emotional truths, and gentle encouragement to help you recognize your own experiences. If you've ever felt unseen or invalidated, this conversation is for you.

If you’ve ever felt like giving up on your growth journey, know that you're not alone. We’re in this with you.
