The Trauma Lie That Almost Destroyed Me

Send us a text

What if everything you've been taught about "doing it alone" is a lie????

Welcome to Life’s Deceit, the podcast where we unravel life’s hidden truths to find healing, clarity, and empowerment. Where we strip away the masks to find deep rooted healing.  I’m your host, Jen Simpson and in this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own struggles—so you know you’re not alone in yours. I'm sharing my rawest moments of self-doubt, the trauma that made me terrified to ask for help....and how I finally broke free.

🔹 In our last episode, we explored DNA, trauma, and generational patterns with Dr. Evelyn Higgins. (Catch it [here]( https://youtu.be/zG_eNGEVFfw?si=xmHeBvkrF7XYVLE5 ) if you missed it!)  

This time, I’m sharing my raw journey of launching this podcast—battling self-doubt, childhood trauma, and the fear of asking for help.  

What You’ll Learn:
✅ How discomfort can be your greatest teacher– Why running from pain keeps you stuck  
✅ Breaking old cycles – The moment I realized I didn’t have to "do life" alone  
✅ The myth of self-sufficiency – How trauma taught me to reject help (and how I unlearned it)  
✅ Practical strategies to silence imposter syndrome and build a supportive community  

If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it, carrying burdens you shouldn’t, or terrified to ask for help—this episode is for you. Healing isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. Let’s grow together.
