My Story: What Trauma Taught Me About Love, Strength, and Choosing Better.
In today’s episode, I’m stepping away from interviews and sharing — my own personal story. Not many people know the full journey that shaped me. I’ve gone back and forth about telling it, but this podcast is about healing, growth, and building a strong foundation within ourselves, so it felt important to share where my foundation came from. This episode explores childhood disruption, survival-based relationship patterns, motherhood as a turning point, grief, and the long process of learning what emotional safety really feels like. It’s not a story about blame — it’s a story about healing, breaking cycles, and choosing better for yourself and for the people you love. If you’ve ever confused survival with love, or stayed in something because it felt familiar, this conversation is for you. My hope is that listening to this reminds you that your past does not define your future — and that it’s never too late to rebuild from the inside out. This is what FOUNDationYOU® is about: creating emotional safety, self-trust, and a stronger foundation within yourself. It really does start with YOU.
