In this episode of Literally My Life: My Guide To Girlhood, I dive deep into the reality of trauma and how, just because I carry it well, doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. I opened up about a pivotal moment in my life—the summer after my sophomore year—when my health took a serious hit and everything changed. I talk about how this led to bullying during my junior year, and how those experiences have left me with lasting emotional scars, even though people constantly tell me I look fine on the outside. I’ll also break down what trauma really is, sharing facts about how it affects us mentally, emotionally, and physically. I reflect on the weight of the last three years and how it still weighs on me, even though I’m constantly told I look “healthy.” To wrap it up, I’ll offer advice on how to cope with trauma and share some of the ways I’ve been working through mine—like journaling, therapy, and prayer. This is a vulnerable, real conversation about carrying the invisible weight of trauma and reminding ourselves that healing is a journey.

I’ll talk about how getting sick at the end of my heartbreak actually gave me the time to reflect and rebuild myself.
