When Terry Garza was just 20 years old, her world was shattered. The father of her daughter went on a violent rampage, killing his mother, nearly killing his brother, and stealing a police car to flee. In the chaos that followed, Terry had to pick up the pieces — as a young single mom, survivor, and woman determined to turn her pain into purpose. In this raw and powerful conversation, Terry opens up about: ✅ Surviving the trauma of homicide and rebuilding life afterward ✅ Healing from denial, disassociation, and generational pain ✅ How music and “shadow work” helped her rediscover who she was ✅ Finding purpose through post-traumatic growth ✅ Why survivors of homicide need their own support systems ✅ The first-ever national conference for homicide survivors This episode reminds us that the healing journey isn’t about forgetting — it’s about finding meaning in what broke us, and using it to help others rise.
