In this bonus episode, I open up about something many survivors experience but rarely have words for: grieving the person you could have been if abuse never happened.

I talk about lost potential, resentment, healing, creativity, and the complicated emotions that come with rebuilding your life after survival. I also share the concept of ambiguous grief - mourning the future, confidence, and version of yourself that was stolen by trauma.

If you’ve ever felt behind in life because of what you went through, this episode is for you.
