What happens when one moment changes everything?
In this deeply moving episode, our guest shares the moment that divided her life in two: the tragic death of her mother when she was just ten years old. After witnessing the fatal accident—her mother falling from a horse and suffering a traumatic brain injury—everything about childhood changed. Joy, playfulness, and innocence were replaced with grief, trauma, and survival.
This episode explores how a single defining event can abruptly end childhood and reshape identity. Through her powerful storytelling, we uncover how trauma rewires the brain, how grief isolates us, and how healing begins with honoring the pain.
If you've ever faced a moment that split your life into "before" and "after," this conversation will speak to your soul.
