What if the most impactful journey you ever embark on is the one towards self-healing? In this episode of "Trauma Is Expensive," I, Micah Bravery, reveal the unexpected origin of our podcast—how a simple misheard comment about the cost of living in Toronto transformed into a profound realization about the price of unhealed trauma. From there, we explore how sharing personal stories on this platform, much like on my other project "These Fukken Feelings Podcast," can create a ripple effect of positive change. A new focus is spotlighted: opening up the floor to listeners who wish to share their own tales of trauma, healing, and transformation.Join me as I recount my ongoing struggle with religious trauma and the painful condemnation I faced due to my sexuality. This chapter lays bare the hardships of seeking self-acceptance and a personal understanding of God while emphasizing the crucial importance of self-care and setting boundaries after a lifetime of prioritizing others. This heartfelt reflection aims to underscore the necessity of healing oneself, acknowledging past mistakes, and ultimately striving for inner peace despite a tumultuous past.We also address the deeply personal journey of recovering from sexual molestation and the overarching importance of consent in every aspect of life. As we proudly rank number 21 in the mental health charts, our mission is to provide a supportive platform where listeners can share their stories of overcoming trauma and finding love for themselves. Wrapping up, we reflect on the past year's experiences and encourage everyone to continually chase their dreams and support each other.Now, we want to open "Trauma is Expensive" up to the world. There are plenty of stories out there that need to be told, and we invite anyone who wants to tell their story to send it to us in their own recorded words. Inspire others with your life lessons. Send us an email at podcast@fukkenfeelings.com, and we will play your stories. This is not a monetized podcast, so no one is making money off of you, but you—and that goes for everybody—can save a life. Why not do it here? Join us in creating a ripple effect of positive change. Stay tuned for our next episode where we welcome a new, random guest, and remember to visit www.traumaisexpensive.com for resources on understanding, healing, and transformation.#MentalHealth #TraumaHealing #SelfHealingJourney #ReligiousTrauma #LGBTQSupport #SelfCare #Boundaries #SexualMolestationRecovery #ConsentMatters #EmotionalWellness #PodcastCommunity #ShareYourStory #HealingTogether #PersonalGrowth #Inspiration #MentalHealthAwareness #TransformYourLife #SupportSystem #HealingJourney #TraumaRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #InnerPeace #LoveYourself #ChaseYourDreams #PositiveChange
