The Traumedy Show

This week on The Traumedy Show, we're serving personal drama and pop culture chaos. Rachel drops brand new receipts on The Weatherman, confirming once and for all that yes—he was cheating, and no—we do not forgive him. We also introduce Trending Trauma, a new segment where we discuss all things pop culture. This week: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2, Battle Camp and our applications to reality TV shows. Then we read a Trauma Bonding submission that takes workplace romance to hell and back, featuring a two-timing narcissist who juggled two women for eight months. This episode also marks the Season 2 finale of The Traumedy Show! We're taking a short break for a bunch of upcoming travel—but don't worry, Season 3 is coming in hot very soon.

**This episode contains content that may be alarming for some listeners, including depictions of domestic violence, financial abuse and cult-related trauma. If you or a loved one are struggling in these areas, please visit the resources below for help and more information.  This week on The Traumedy Show, Emily Rose, founder of The Mama Wilder Foundation, details her story of surviving domestic violence, financial abuse and the isolation that came with marrying into a religious cult. She takes us through the painful unraveling of that life—how control was disguised as faith and how she ultimately found the strength to leave. But her story doesn't end there. Emily fought her ex-husband in criminal and family court for domestic violence and for custody of her children. And, in a stunning turn, her now-husband helped her take back her power—by cross-examining her narcissistic mother in the courtroom. It's a story of pain, escape, the pursuit of justice and the kind of love that helps you rebuild. Resources: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233
