January 2024 didn’t feel “new.” It felt like the stillness after a storm, the kind where the air still smells like rain. I wasn’t crying every day anymore, but the grief had settled deeper. In this episode, I read the letter I wrote to my husband—word for word—naming what broke, what I own, and what I’m learning to release.

This is also the month Momma Drama & Trauma was born: late-night journaling turned into a space for honesty, healing, and connection. I talk about the fog after betrayal (that numb middle space between heartbreak and healing), the tiny unclench in my chest that felt like the first real breath, and the early signs that I was coming back to myself.

If you’re sitting in your own “after,” I hope this gives you language for it and a little light.

In this episode:

• Reading the letter (accountability, grief, and boundaries)

• The fog after betrayal & why “not okay yet” is still progress

• The quiet birth of Momma Drama & Trauma as a creative lifeline

• Early acceptance: hurting and healing can exist together
