Surviving the Unthinkable

Let's Get Naked

Trauma, survival, and healing — Tricia gets real about the night that changed everything.

At 22, Tricia woke up in a car with strangers, fought to escape, and was hit by a truck. In this raw conversation, she opens up about the physical and emotional recovery that followed, how faith became her anchor, and what healing looks like years later. A story about surviving the unimaginable—and choosing to grow from it.

Listen now and share with someone who needs a reminder that healing is possible.

This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.

So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
