TRIGGER WARNING: Child trauma discussed in this episode.

In this episode of Stories from Real Life, we sit down with Adriene Caldwell — author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines — to explore what it really means to survive, heal, and rise. Adriene’s story is one of resilience forged through unimaginable hardship, from childhood trauma to the long road of rebuilding identity and trust. She shares how she found her voice, her faith, and ultimately, her freedom.

This conversation isn’t just about trauma — it’s about transformation. Adriene reminds us that healing isn’t a straight line, and that every scar tells a story worth sharing.
