Healing After Trauma: Journey of Grief, Growth, and New Beginnings

In this emotional episode, we take a significant shift in our podcast's focus toward supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. Our Co-host Abi shares her own powerful and personal journey of overcoming the sudden loss of her partner, Matt, and the challenges of dealing with grief, PTSD, and the complex process of healing. From the heart-wrenching recount of that fateful day to the supportive role of friends, family and therapy in her recovery, this episode also touches on themes of resilience and transformation, including a bold move to Dubai, a major milestone in her path toward personal growth. It's a testament to human strength, the importance of self-care and the belief that true happiness is possible after trauma.
