Resilience Nearly Killed Me (Part 2)

A conversation that begins with grief and unexpected loss unfolds into something deeper: how we recognize when we’re slipping, and what it takes to reach for support before it’s too late. This episode gently explores trauma, healing, and the quiet truth that becoming is a lifelong process—not a destination. In this vulnerable continuation of their story, the hosts reflect on the emotional aftermath of trauma anniversaries, community loss, and the subtle warning signs of depression that often go unnoticed until the darkness feels close. Through honest dialogue about suicidal ideation, recovery programs, and the weight carried in high-stress professions, they create space for compassion—both for ourselves and for one another. The conversation moves into the healing work that follows: mapping personal timelines, uncovering deeply held beliefs, and exploring Internal Family Systems as a pathway toward integration and self-understanding. What emerges is not a promise of quick fixes, but a reminder that healing is layered, nonlinear, and still profoundly hopeful—like broken pieces repaired with gold, stronger and more beautiful for having been mended. If you’ve ever felt behind in your healing, questioned your strength, or wondered whether change is possible, this episode offers something simple and powerful: you’re not alone, and the work of becoming is already unfolding.
