Embracing the Threads of Recovery Unraveling the Impact of Trauma - Part 2
03/07/24 • 40 min
Sometimes life writes stories we wish were fiction; mine led me down paths I never anticipated. When the scars of a past trauma threatened the fabric of my existence, I had to find a voice—both for myself and for others who’ve walked through that shadowy valley. In a conversation that's as raw as it is real, Pheobe and I peel back the veil on personal safety, resilience, and the silent battles fought in the aftermath of sexual assault. We bravely share our encounters with date rape, the complexities of consent, and the journey towards healing, hoping to provide solace and empowerment to those who need it most.
Family is a tapestry of intricate patterns, some of which are woven with threads of pain and longing. This episode doesn't shy away from the dark hues of addiction and abandonment that colored Pheobe's childhood, nor does it ignore the poignant moments of reconnection and affirmation that arrived much later in life. We delve into the emotional landscape of dealing with absent parents, the struggle to find one's place in a fragmented family, and the hard-earned lessons that come from a life touched by substance abuse—a narrative that many will find mirrors their own.
And yet, amidst the stories of loss and hardship, there is a testament to the bonds that sustain us. Pheobe recounts the indelible mark left by Freddy, a beacon of love and stability in a world that often felt devoid of both. Through tales of growth, the impact of cultural heritage, and the enduring legacy of relationships that shape our lives, this episode is an ode to the human capacity for change and the importance of cherishing every connection. Join us as we navigate the highs and lows, sharing stories that demonstrate the importance of support, the resilience of the human spirit, and the depth of love that can be found even in the most unexpected places.

When Christi Chanelle's video hit a viral wave on TikTok, we were awestruck by the power of content to transcend restrictive algorithms, just like the unstoppable drive for cannabis legalization we're witnessing globally. Today, Pheobe and I get candid about navigating the choppy seas of mental health, deeply rooted in childhood trauma.
Our conversation sails through the tempest of our Phoebe's early years, marked by the chaos of addiction and violence, a narrative that is painfully familiar to many. She opens up about the harrowing effects of witnessing and experiencing abuse, grappling with the complexities of love mingled with pain, and the resilience required to confront and overcome such profound adversities. It's a candid discussion on how these storms can shape the paths we tread, the importance of protective measures for the innocent, and the courage it takes to break generational cycles of dysfunction.
Together, we anchor in the belief that with understanding, therapy, and the tenacity to rise, it's possible to navigate even the most treacherous currents and find safe harbor.
