The Cost of Unresolved Trauma: Relapse, Parental Guilt & Chronic Pain w/ Erin Martin
Today at 10:00 AM

What happens when the wounds you thought you’d healed—or didn’t even know were there—come roaring back? And it can feel like you’re back at square one, even though you’re not.

Erin Martin is a podcaster, mom, wife, and reality TV connoisseur.

08/06/2025
