Breakdown to Breakthrough
Welcome to a place where two friends open up about hard times, healing, and helping others. We have a shared mission of breaking the silence that so many of us feel during the hard times of our lives. The isolation. The confusion. The messiness of it all. Sometimes navigating through it all can seem so impossible. Here on Breakdown to Breakthrough you’ll find laughter through loss, hope through healing, and coping through chaos … and probably some really bad jokes and awkwardness in between! We’re two friends, Krystal and Gabby, who have known each other since elementary school. We grew apart after high school, but shared trauma brought us back together a few years later. Krystal started opening up about her journey through PTSD, abuse, and losing her Dad by suicide on social media. At the same time Gabby was dealing with her Mom being diagnosed with stage four cancer. After graduating from college, she moved home and became one of her Mom’s primary caregivers. After 2 years of helping take care of her Mom, she ended up passing shortly after starting this podcast. We’ll never claim to have all the answers or to know the best way to do things. We'll keep it REAL, lead with our hearts, and show up as fully and as openly as we possibly can. In doing so, we hope you find a home here on the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. We are so happy to have you join us. Now go listen to an episode!
