When Everything You Built Starts to Unravel

What happens when your marriage, identity, and faith all fall apart at the same time? This is a conversation about navigating the messy middle of major life changes when everything unravels at once. About the transition anxiety of watching your entire foundation crack and not knowing what's left. For anyone whose life transitions aren't happening one at a time—they're colliding. Therapist and educator Janice Holland—The Trauma Teacher—joins Nikki P to share her story of when marriage crisis, identity shift, and faith transition hit simultaneously. You'll hear about the both/and of grief and relief when everything breaks, how faith transition complicates marriage crisis, and why starting over feels impossible when you don't recognize yourself anymore. This is about emotional regulation when the chaos is overwhelming, boundaries you didn't know you needed, and learning that unraveling isn't the end—it's the beginning.
