In this episode of Unfiltered with Love, Kerry Love sits down with longtime friend and former police detective Scott Furlong for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, healing, and transformation.

Scott shares his journey from serving as a homicide detective in Queensland, Australia, to experiencing PTSD after years of exposure to trauma. He opens up about the culture within law enforcement, the challenges of seeking support, and how untreated trauma can quietly build over time until it becomes overwhelming.

The conversation moves beyond trauma into something deeper...exploring identity, purpose, and what happens when the career that once defined you is suddenly gone. Scott reflects on his personal transformation, including his spiritual awakening, his studies in theology, and the process of redefining his sense of self and worth.

Kerry and Scott also discuss how trauma impacts relationships, emotional connection, and the ability to form meaningful bonds. Scott shares how his experiences shaped the way he related to others, and how healing requires breaking down emotional walls that were once built for protection.

Now an author, Scott talks about his books, including his children’s book Mummy Wears Blue Shoes, which helps families talk about PTSD in a compassionate and accessible way. He also shares insights into his latest work, a fiction thriller rooted in real-world events and personal inspiration.

This episode is an honest and thoughtful conversation about:

• PTSD and life after trauma
• Healing and personal transformation
• Identity and self-worth beyond career
• Emotional connection and relationships
• Spiritual growth and perspective
• Finding purpose after loss

At its core, this conversation is about understanding that healing is not a straight path...it’s an ongoing journey of growth, reflection, and rediscovery.

As Scott shares, sometimes the most important part of healing is learning to slow down, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.

This is a powerful episode about resilience, humanity, and the possibility of transformation...even after the darkest experiences.

In this episode of Unfiltered with Love, Kerry Love explores whether we’ve become too guarded, too independent, and too analytical in how we relate to one another.

With so much modern relationship advice centered around detachment, protecting your energy, and emotional independence, Kerry reflects on whether we may have lost something important...genuine connection.

She dives into the difference between healthy independence and emotional detachment, the impact of fear-based relating, and how over-analyzing relationships can sometimes keep us from experiencing meaningful connection.

This episode explores:
✨ Hyper-independence vs. healthy connection
✨ Fear-based relating and emotional guarding
✨ Over-intellectualizing relationships
✨ Vulnerability and authentic connection
✨ What healthy relating actually looks like

Kerry also reflects on how we can find balance...learning to be independent while still remaining open, vulnerable, and willing to connect.

Maybe we haven’t forgotten how to love…
But maybe we’ve forgotten how to relate.
