Welcome to an intimate episode of the Slice of Empathy podcast, where we delve into a deeply personal journey of marriage, family dynamics, and the quiet weight of unrecognized trauma.

In this episode, we explore my husband’s story — raised by a devoted single father after his parents divorced, while navigating the emotional distance of a mother who was present only on weekends and largely unavailable. After losing his father to cancer at just 16, he moved in with his mother and stepfather — a man who barely tolerated him, offering little in the way of support or connection.

The loss of his mother years later to the very same cancer, and the absence of emotional acknowledgment or healing in between, left wounds that lingered into adulthood.

Together, we reflect on the generational and emotional impacts of this journey, and what it means to build a marriage when your earliest examples of love and security were fractured or missing. This is a conversation about grief, resilience, and learning how to show up for each other — even when no one showed up for you.

In this deeply moving episode of the Slides of Empathy podcast, we explore the powerful story of Blanca Rodriguez, the remarkable founder of Wounded Healer LLC. Join us as we delve into Blanca's journey from a childhood marked by trauma and loss to a life dedicated to healing and transformation. Blanca shares her inspiring mission to help others through holistic life coaching, dance, and physical movement, revealing how she turned her pain into purpose.

Blanca opens up about the challenges she faced, including growing up with a mother affected by chronic mental illness and enduring multiple incidents of sexual assault. Discover how music and dance became her refuge, guiding her toward emotional and physical healing. The conversation highlights the importance of physical movement and open communication in overcoming trauma and fostering resilience.

Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that emphasizes the significance of seeking support and embracing life's journey as a dance. Whether you're experiencing a dark season or seeking inspiration, Blanca's story will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and determination to improve your quality of life, no matter where you are on your personal path.
