Not every connection in grief is healthy.

In this powerful episode, Shaleka Smith unpacks the difference between trauma bonding and building a grief community. Though both can begin with shared pain, only one leads to lasting healing.

Through storytelling, scripture, reflection prompts, and real-life examples, you’ll discover:

  • What trauma bonding looks like (and why it keeps you stuck)
  • How a grief community supports growth, not just survival
  • 5 signs you may be in a trauma bond
  • Encouragement to build relationships that nurture your healing
  • A journaling moment to check in with your heart

If you've ever asked, “Why do I feel worse after talking to someone who gets it?”—this episode is for you.

Let’s trade trauma ties for healing spaces. You didn’t sign up for grief, but you don’t have to grieve alone.
