Hey friends—today’s episode is sacred. Rose survived a targeted shooting (hit 13 times), the loss of her child’s father, homelessness, health battles, and back-to-back grief. For years she lived in survival mode—until faith, accountability, and a patient love helped her begin to heal. This conversation is for anyone carrying trauma and longing to feel seen, supported, and safe.

We talk about: • Surviving gun violence & living with PTSD • Being the “strong one” while silently suffering • Grief stacking (loss of partner, father, two brothers) • Trauma bonds vs. healthy community & boundaries • How a safe partner (shoutout to Sean!) modeled real love • Faith, church hurt, and finding your way back to God • What healing actually looks like: triggers, therapy, accountability

If this blessed you, subscribe and share with a friend who needs it. Your story isn’t over—healing is possible, evolving is possible, reclaiming is possible. 💛

⚠️ Content note: mentions of gun violence, grief, domestic violence, anxiety/PTSD.
