In today's episode, I'm sharing why it doesn't have to be major to matter. Sometimes we downplay our pain because it doesn't look like a single, defining moment. We compare our experiences to others, dismissing our own hurts as "not that bad." 

But trauma isn't measured by the size of the event - it's about what happens INSIDE of us. Pain doesn't have to be major to matter - choosing to name it isn't wall wing, but will allow you to find true HEALING!

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why pain doesn’t have to come from a major traumatic event to matter
  • How the little hurts & unmet needs can build up over time + affect us later
  • What shapes our individual capacity to handle pain
  • What happens when we keep dismissing the small stuff
