“In this first Midweek Short Echo, I share the night fireworks went from celebration to combat flashbacks. What should’ve been a fun evening at Eagle Lake with my son turned into pounding heartbeats, hypervigilance, and a reminder that trauma doesn’t check the calendar.
It’s raw, it’s short, and it’s real. Maybe your ‘fireworks’ aren’t fireworks at all — maybe it’s something else that takes you back. You’re not broken, and you’re not alone.”
Real Talk. Raw Faith. Stay Unfiltered.
