I reflect on the complex feelings surrounding the death of my abuser and how it triggered a whirlwind of emotions, memories, and realizations. As I recount a day in the life of a trucker, from managing errands to handling unexpected tech issues on the road, I share how I coped with the overwhelming triggers and flashbacks.

I also discuss how Paris Hilton’s documentary uncovered parallels to my own boarding school trauma, revisiting moments of fear, survival, and resilience from my childhood. This episode is a deeply personal journey through grief, healing, and rediscovery, with insights into how I’ve learned to navigate such difficult experiences.

Trigger Warning: discussions of sexual abuse, emotional abuse, boarding school trauma, and mentions of suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
