OAK PARK, Mich. - s4story -- Today marks the premiere of Unlearn the Trauma, a new weekly podcast hosted by survivor, advocate, and storyteller Nicole Garcia. With raw storytelling, honest reflection, and moments of dark humor, the show explores the ongoing reality of life after childhood trauma.

Garcia, who lost her mother in a high-profile double homicide at age five and courageously testified in court against her parent at just six years old, brings an unparalleled perspective to the conversation around trauma.

"When the adults disappeared, I learned to survive in ways no child should ever have to. This podcast is about what survival leaves behind, and how we learn to live with it," said Garcia.

Unlike conversations that stop at the traumatic event, Unlearn the Trauma dives into what comes next: the triggers that resurface years later, the grief that lingers, and the struggle to feel safe, loved, and whole again.

Nicole Garcia is both a survivor and an advocate, committed to reshaping how we talk about trauma and healing. Drawing from her lived experience and her gift for honest storytelling, she brings a rare combination of advocacy and authenticity to Unlearn the Trauma, creating a space where survivors feel both seen and understood.
