## Resource

What happens when a Thanksgiving road trip becomes a life-altering accident and you have to walk back onto a college campus days later, cane in hand, with no mental health support?

What you'll learn in this episode What it's really like to be pulled from a car with the jaws of life and how to move forward How trauma shows up in the body long after physical injuries heal (somatic responses, driving anxiety) The difference between being hyper-aware and being consumed by anxiety and why the language you use matters Jennie's morning gratitude ritual: morning visualization, an "easy button," and celebrating small wins daily Why sharing your story, however messy, is one of the most powerful ways to help others heal This is Jennie’s story, and she is RESILIENT A.F.
