In this powerful episode, Caralyn Dreyer shares her journey through adoption, sexual assault, domestic abuse, and an eating disorder—and the lifelong work of healing that has followed.
We openly talk about reclaiming identity, building self-worth after trauma, and the role therapy, forgiveness, and community play in recovery.
As a fellow mother and mental health advocate, Caralyn opens up about breaking generational cycles and finding strength through vulnerability.
Her story shines a light on the courage it takes to face the past and the beauty of resilience. She and I very candidly dive into what it truly means to heal.
If you or someone you love is navigating trauma or mental health recovery, this conversation offers compassion, validation, and hope.
