Episode Description
Learn why healing in silence counts, how to keep going when nobody notices the trauma recovery work you're doing, and the difference between hiding your healing and keeping it private. In this trauma recovery podcast episode, Tracy Smaldino shares the years she healed quietly before anyone knew — and why some of it she has still never told a single person.
