UNWIND Mental Health Podcast, Episode 1: You Can’t Hustle Your Way Through Trauma

UNWIND is a mental health podcast that helps you get out of your head and back into your heart. Hosted by Blair Nicole—PhD candidate in psychology, former trauma therapist, and self-compassion coach—this podcast is where healing meets honesty.

In our first episode, I’m sharing my personal story, including how overcame trauma to finally find peace within myself. We’ll also explore 4 common myths about post-traumatic growth—and what actually creates real, lasting change.

If you’ve ever looked like you “have it all together” on the outside but felt like you were falling apart inside…this one’s for you.

  • Why you can’t hustle your way through trauma (trust me, I tried)
