Healing After a Toxic Relationship | EP 27 | Just for Today Podcast

Описание: In this raw, no-filter conversation, Adriana sits down with Alexa as she shares what it was like to love someone whose alcohol and drug use escalated into violence, fear, and long-lasting trauma. Alexa opens up about the moments that changed everything, the shame that can keep you stuck, and why “just leave” is never that simple.

Alexa also talks about her PTSD diagnosis, navigating triggers, therapy and EMDR, and the decision to stop drinking as part of reclaiming her life and sense of safety. From learning boundaries to rebuilding trust, this episode is about what healing actually looks like when your nervous system has been in survival mode for years.

Finally, Alexa shares how her experiences shaped her work with at-risk teens in the weight room, why consistency can change a kid’s life, and how grief and responsibility collide when you’re trying to be a steady adult for students who’ve lived through too much too soon.
