ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Trauma Candy Salad is a show where host Sammi, and her siblings Ashley and Kyle, dive into real stories of trauma, healing, and resilience—then sweeten the journey with candy. 🍬 Each episode features anonymous listener submissions or personal stories, paired with favorite treats to build a “candy salad.” It’s raw, it’s messy, sometimes hilarious, and always human. No therapy licenses here—just big feelings, sibling chaos, and a little sugar to help the hard stuff go down.
