Get in touch with us! Healing After Trauma: Journey of Grief, Growth, and New BeginningsIn 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. 00:00 Podcast Focus Shift: Embracing Trauma Stories01:57 Celebrating Listener Growth and Engagement04:19 Personal Reflections and Listener Impact04:43 Abi's Emotional Return to Ibiza08:38 The Day Matt Passed Away30:22 Funeral Arrangements and Family Support33:50 Coping with PTSD and Moving Forward34:52 The Importance of Having a Will35:25 Finding Purpose and Moving Homes36:33 Struggles with Alcohol and Suicidal Thoughts37:37 The Journey of Grief and Healing40:49 New Beginnings with Perry 43:18 Moving to Dubai: A Fresh Start45:28 Personal Development and Healthier Lifestyle50:41 The Power of Music and Writing51:47 Reflections on Grief and Moving Forward54:06 Mother-Daughter Bond and Final ThoughtsWe’d LOVE to hear from you! Questions?
