Survival Mode Disrupted with Leticia R Francis20 Aug 2025

Miscarriage, Manipulation & Misalignment

What do you do when your life looks fine on the outside—but you’re dying inside?

Tracey Gromenz shares her raw journey from ignoring the pit in her stomach to choosing peace, power, and presence after a traumatic miscarriage, emotional manipulation, and years of gaslighting.

This is not just a story of leaving—it’s a story of becoming.

⚠️ Why peace feels unfamiliar after chaos
💔 The silent grief of miscarriage and emotional abuse
🔄 “Everything’s fine”—and other lies survival mode feeds us
🔑 What it really means to reclaim your no
🧱 Radical ownership, identity reinvention, and building a life rooted in YOUR values

🎙️ What We Talk About:

Miscarriage and the emotional isolation surrounding it
The moment she knew she was done—and what came next
The messy logistics of leaving: van sleeping, porch clothes, and tunnel vision
Why we normalize dysfunction and silence our truth
How societal conditioning keeps women stuck
The power of choosing beauty after betrayal
Living in alignment with your values (not the algorithm)

🔑 Key Takeaways:“Survival isn’t the destination. It’s just the wake-up call.”“You can’t create peace by abandoning yourself.”“Radical ownership starts with remembering—you have a no.”“Who you became to survive is not who you need to be to thrive.”
🙌 Why This Episode Matters:

So many women are walking around in survival mode—detached, depleted, and convinced that “fine” is the best it gets.

Tracey’s story is a reminder that peace isn’t just possible—it’s yours to claim.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom to make a change. But if you’re there, let this episode be the rope you grab onto.
