As someone who has walked the path from trauma to recovery, I understand the challenges, fears, and doubts that come with PTSD - and more importantly, I know the way forward. Each week, I bring you powerful conversations, practical tools, and transformative insights about healing from trauma and PTSD.

Have you ever wondered what life without PTSD would be like?
How things would be different for you if you could sleep through the night?
The love you and your partner would share without the lash outs and screaming matches?
When I still had PTSD I would think about things like this a lot... and I would always curse my PTSD for now allowing me to have the things I wanted...
All I wanted was a chance at the life I watched so many other "normal people" live... have you ever wanted that?
If you've ever felt this way, I have some really good news for you... My partner Brad and I just re-launched our podcast and that's *exactly* what we cover in this first episode.
We brought the podcast back because the truth is... there's a lot of REALLY bad advice out there.
You've probably come across it already.
Things like:
- this is your "new normal"
- you can't go back to who you were before
- the only way to make things better is to learn how to cope
- and so on...
The heartbreaking truth is, this false information is costing people their lives.
Brad and I do not want this to happen to you too... and that's why we brought the podcast back... so you don't have to lose everything because of bad advice.
Thanks for joining us for our first episode back!
Please, join us every Monday for new content and renewed hope!
The road to healing can be a lonely one, but it doesn't have to be. We're here with you and for you.
To your recovery,
Kayleen (& Brad & Shiloh)

Today I got this question:
"I always give and give until there's nothing left for me. I feel selfish for taking care of myself, how do I change my thinking about this?"
Do you ever feel selfish for taking care of yourself?
I used to, the reality is that you're the first link in the chain of your life.
If YOU are not good, then nothing in your life will be good. It's not either or. It's AND. You can take care of others AND take care of yourself.
You matter.
