The Struggles We Don’t Call “Trauma” (But Should) When you hear the word trauma, do you only think of catastrophic events like accidents, disasters, or devastating losses? The truth is, trauma often hides in plain sight — in workplaces, relationships, family dynamics, and even in the quiet disappointments we carry alone. In this kickoff to my new 6-part Trauma Series, I’m breaking down what trauma really means, why so many women minimize their pain, and how naming your experience can be the key to beginning your healing. We’ll talk about: What trauma is (and isn’t) Why “little t” trauma is often overlooked Real-life examples of hidden wounds women carry The danger of pretending we’re “fine” or “over it” How God meets us in all kinds of brokenness ✨ Friend, trauma isn’t just the big events — it’s the silent hurts you’ve carried, too. And when you can see them for what they are, you can finally start to heal.
