Triumph After Trauma
Welcome friend! I'm Kaitey, and I'm so happy we're connected!
Through my teens I felt incredibly alone, hopeless, and didn't have any tools to help myself escape the darkness that was severe anxiety and depression. Now that I'm in a healthier place years later, I have created Triumph After Trauma in hopes of preventing you from feeling as alone or hopeless as I once did, and providing you with tools and resources that will help you navigate really tough shit in life when the universes decides to rock your world.
Triumph After Trauma is all about mental health, understanding ourselves better, sharing my life with you, and reassuring you if I can constantly navigate hard shit but find ways to still thrive in my life, SO CAN YOU! Let's get navigating this messy, beautiful, intense thing we call life together <3

Ep. 83: Talking About The Delicate Balance Between Grief And Gratitude
Welcome back to the podcast, friends!
If you're new here, I'm glad you found my podcast and we're now connected!
For the past month or so I have been feeling both gratitude and grief deeply. I believe as humans no matter how well life may be going, we are always grieving something on someone. I also believe that no matter how hard, scary, or impossible life may get, we can find things to be grateful if we look for them. Since this is on my heart, I decided we're going to have a conversation about this today!
Get ready to hear a little bit about my story, and have a great chat about balancing the conflicting feelings that are grief and gratitude. Also, take a look below for some different resources/tips that might help you feel gratitude without feeling awkward or deeply feel your grief, and help you honour both feelings.
