“The Wounds You Can’t See” takes a raw and unfiltered look at emotional neglect — the quiet kind that hides behind screens, exhaustion, and unspoken family patterns.

Chevelle opens up about her own childhood experiences growing up in silence and how the lack of emotional connection created invisible scars that lasted into adulthood.

Using personal storytelling, lived experience, and current statistics from Alberta and across Canada — including shocking increases in youth self-harm, anxiety, and depression rates in Edmonton and Calgary — this episode explores how parental disengagement, technology, and generational trauma collide to create a growing youth mental-health crisis.

This isn’t about blame — it’s about awareness. About learning to see the unseen. About the parents who are trying but don’t realize they’re absent, and the kids who appear fine but are drowning quietly.

You’ll walk away with compassion, perspective, and a renewed belief that showing up matters more than showing off. Because healing starts the moment someone finally says, “I see you.”
