    Episode 2: The Trauma They Don't Put on the Recruitment Posters
    May 18 2025

    We signed the dotted line. We wore the uniform. We did the job. But no one warned us what we’d carry home.

    In this episode, Pam and Kayde dig into the invisible wounds of military service—PTSD, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, survivor’s guilt, and all the pain no one talks about in the commercials. This isn’t about glory. It’s about the fallout. The silence. The rage. And the slow, brutal process of trying to feel human again after war, trauma, and duty collide.

    If you’ve served, know someone who has, or just want to understand what “coming home” really feels like—this one’s for you.

    Welcome to the very first episode of Shit Hurts. We’re Kayde and Pam—two veterans, former Christians, and survivors of PTSD, depression, and more emotional landmines than we can count. In this episode, we talk about why we created this podcast, what we’ve lived through, and what we hope Shit Hurts becomes for anyone out there struggling in silence. No filters. No fixes. Just truth, vulnerability, and a place to breathe.
