Ronda’s story is raw, heartbreaking, and deeply relatable for anyone carrying a mother wound. At 17, she was sexually assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend — and when she told her mother, she was dismissed, blamed, and called a liar. That betrayal shaped the next 30 years of her life, impacting her relationships, safety, trust, and even her physical health. In this episode, we unpack what survival mode looked like for Ronda: isolation, guarding her heart, struggling at school, and moving through life feeling like everyone eventually hurts you. She shares how her therapist challenged her to write — and how writing turned into publishing two books on Amazon as a way to finally release what she carried alone for decades. This conversation highlights the 3 phases of exiting survival mode:

• Self-awareness: naming the truth and recognizing the impact
• Reprogramming: choosing support (therapy + psychiatry) and rewriting the narrative
• Reinvention: turning pain into purpose and helping other women feel less alone

• Being sexually assaulted at 17 and not being believed by her mother
• How betrayal trauma becomes a lifelong “guarded heart”
• PTSD + depression and what it’s like to finally get diagnosed later in life
• Isolation as a trauma response: “I don’t go outside” + “I don’t trust anyone”
• The mother wound and what it does to friendships, identity, and belonging
• Trauma in the body: heart symptoms, stress responses, and stored pain
• How writing became Ronda’s release — and why she published her story
• The pain of repeated betrayal and the lack of accountability from others
• What healing looks like when you’re tired of crying and tired of carrying it

This episode speaks to the women who have survived trauma and then got punished for telling the truth. It’s for the ones who became hyper-independent, guarded, and isolated because trusting people kept hurting. Ronda’s story reminds us that silence isn’t strength — it’s often survival. And survival is not the final destination.

In this raw and disruptive conversation, Tracy shares her story of growing up in severe dysfunction — from childhood abuse, neglect, and emotional isolation to being a “different” child who could see, hear, and feel what others couldn’t. She walks us through how survival mode became a learned pattern, not a personality trait, and how we often cling to our trauma stories because there’s a hidden payoff: attention, identity, and a sense of power in being “the one who suffered.” We dive into what it really means to guard your soul, why staying in victimhood quietly hands your power back to the people who hurt you, and how to choose a new narrative without denying what you lived through. This episode is a collision of spirituality, self-responsibility, and soul-level truth.
