In this deeply personal episode, Trina opens up about a part of her story she hadn’t planned to share so soon — but knew she needed to.

Prompted by a friend’s vulnerable question — “How did you deal with the abuse of your ex?” — Trina reflects on the quiet, devastating unraveling of her marriage, the weight of addiction and gaslighting, and the profound betrayal that cost her something even deeper than love: her trust.

She shares how, in 2017, she began a journey of physical transformation, losing over 100 pounds and gaining confidence — not knowing it was preparing her for a storm that could’ve destroyed her. From becoming an empty nester and moving across the province, to discovering her husband's opioid addiction and emotional manipulation, Trina takes us through the heartbreaking moments that ultimately led to her awakening.

With insight from Mel Robbins and a poignant scene from the Prime series Younger, this episode reminds us that betrayal can also be a turning point — a painful, powerful form of enlightenment. And that healing isn’t about going back. It’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself you were told to silence.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, doubted your voice, or lost yourself trying to love someone else — this episode is for you.
