the Unvarnished Edit
Angie and Jaelene's longtime friendship was built on honest conversations about hard things, and the Unvarnished Edit puts those conversations on a mic. They talk about trauma, recovery, relationships, and daily life. Angie has spent 15 years in the trauma field, both personally and professionally. Jaelene brings a lived story she tells plainly. Expect humor, practical tools, and healing described the way it actually goes: slow and nonlinear.
