In this deeply honest and moving episode, we sit down with Candi, who shares her journey through unimaginable loss and betrayal. After losing her husband to COVID, Candi was faced with a second heartbreak—discovering after his passing that he had not been faithful during their marriage. In this conversation, she opens up about the complex grief of mourning someone while also reckoning with painful truths, the anger and confusion that followed, and the slow, non-linear process of healing.

Candi speaks candidly about what forgiveness has looked like for her—not as a one-time decision, but as ongoing work she continues to do for her own peace. She shares how she learned to hold space for both love and hurt, how she rebuilt her sense of self, and how she eventually allowed herself to open her heart again. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t mean forgetting, that forgiveness can coexist with boundaries, and that it’s never too late to choose growth, self-compassion, and new love.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we sit down with social psychologist Jamie Hughes to explore how trauma doesn’t just live in our memories—it lives in our bodies. Together, we unpack the science behind how traumatic experiences can physically manifest through chronic stress, pain, illness, and emotional regulation, often long after the original event has passed.

Jamie helps us understand the mind-body connection, why our nervous system holds onto trauma, and what that means for healing, resilience, and recovery. Whether you’re a survivor, a caregiver, or someone looking to better understand the lasting effects of trauma, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and hope for reclaiming your body and your sense of safety.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking deeper awareness of how trauma shapes us—and how healing is possible.
