Description

This week’s Trauma Candy Salad is a mix of heartbreak, healing, and a little Gorilla Glue. 🍬

Sammi shares Ginny’s story — a daughter raised by a teen mom who sacrificed everything, only to lose her too soon. Ashley reads a gut-wrenching account from Tomorrow Girl, who escaped an abusive relationship and found her way back to herself. And Kyle rounds it out with Gorilla Glue’s chaotic tale of childhood stupidity and unexpected scars (literally).

It’s an episode about survival, resilience, and the strange sweetness that sometimes follows the pain.
