Why do some headlines shake us to our core—while others barely register?

In this episode of Getting Through the Week, we explore how public stories like the Epstein list, political betrayals, or even a Coldplay concert jumbotron moment can reawaken personal pain that’s been buried for years.

Because this isn’t just about celebrities or scandals.

It’s about what those stories stir in us.

We dive into:

• 
  

  The link between collective trauma and personal triggers

  
  


• 
  

  Why betrayal by institutions (or even partners) can hit like childhood wounds

  
  


• 
  

  The nervous system’s response when truth is denied

  
  


• 
  

  Why we crave someone—anyone—to speak up for what’s right

  
  


• 
  

  And what it means when your body reacts before your brain catches up

  
  

✨ If you’ve felt on edge, disheartened, or unexpectedly emotional lately… this episode offers context, compassion, and clarity.

You’re not too much.

You’re not too sensitive.

You’re just human—and your system remembers.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to navigate the emotional waves with more grounding and grace.
