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. 111: 3 Tips If You're Struggling With Your Health + To Get Answers/Diagnosis'
Welcome back to the podcast, friends!
If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my podcast and we're now connected!
Today friends, we're talking about the frustrations of dealing with a chronic illness or other serious medical condition but struggling to get answers/frustrations.
To give a backstory: I've been having issues with my hormones and irregular but (when I do get one) heavy periods for years. I have been tested for endo, fibroids, and polyps - nothing. And that is where I'm at with my gyno. She seems to think I'm fine but also admits being irregular and heavy, painful periods aren't normal. I bet you can understand (especially as a woman) why I'm going into 2025 a little frustrated I'm still looking for answers.
*side note - I have a feeling it's pcos or imbalanced hormones, I'm hopeful to find out this year*
I know I'm far from the only one looking for some sort of answers or fighting to get a diagnosis for something you know isn't right in your body, who is frustrated and deflated, so I decided to share three tips and reminders I have for those of you also in this rocky boat.
If you're not in this sort of situation, I hope you'll still press play. You probably know or love someone who is, and understanding them a little better can help you support them even more than you do now!
