This episode marks my return to the podcast after a long pause.This is not a crisis update. I'm safe, grounded, and in a much better place now.This is a reflective conversation about why I stepped away, what the past year required of me, and why I needed to close that chapter before moving forward.I introduce what I call my "2025 Trauma Cake" — a way of naming the layers of this year without sensationalizing them. Not everything is shared here, and that's intentional.The full 1 hour 22 minute episode, where I walk through 2025 month by month and talk about what I built during that time (including future projects), is available on Patreon.This extended version is shared in a private container. If you choose to listen, please receive it with care and do not repost, summarize, or circulate it elsewhere.🔒 Continue the full episode on Patreon ($9.99):Click here [https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-2025-trauma-i-146884425?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link]🎧 New episodes will continue from here.Thank you for being here.—Jerome ❤️
