BONUS EPISODE
In this deeply personal bonus episode, Laura steps outside of her usual conversations to share a part of her story that she has kept private for a long time.
Laura opens up about surviving an abusive relationship, the fear and isolation that came with it, the things people didn’t see, and what it took for her to finally find her way out. She shares the realities of trauma, the complicated emotions that can come with abuse, and the journey of rebuilding after surviving something that changed her life.
Released during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, this episode also explores the connection between abuse, trauma, grief, isolation, and emotional pain. Laura shares her story not for sympathy, but to help break the silence surrounding experiences that are often kept behind closed doors.
This is a raw, honest, and vulnerable conversation — and one that may be difficult for some listeners to hear.
