In this deeply personal episode, Tristen opens up about her upbringing and how it has shaped the person she is today. She shares the painful story of being kicked out of her home as a teenager, navigating life with multiple parental figures, and the challenges that came with carrying the weight of her childhood into adulthood. Tristen also talks about how that unexpected chapter led to her meeting Dolcie — the start of their now-unshakable friendship. Together, we reflect on how our past shapes the way we show up in the world, how therapy helps us process old wounds, and why friendship can be one of the most healing forces in our lives. If you’ve ever struggled with family dynamics, childhood trauma, or the long road of healing, this episode is for you.
