    What really happens after someone comes home from prison? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Gigi sits down with Shelia Bruno, founder of Wife After Prison, to unpack the often-overlooked reality of Post-Incarceration Syndrome (PICS). While many families dream of the day their loved one walks free, the transition home can bring unexpected emotional, mental, and relational challenges that few people are prepared for. Shelia breaks down what PICS is, why it develops, and how years of incarceration can impact a person's ability to adjust to life on the outside. Together, Gigi and Shelia discuss the effects incarceration can have on communication, trust, intimacy, emotional regulation, and family dynamics after release. Whether you're preparing for a loved one's homecoming or currently navigating reentry, this conversation offers valuable insight, practical guidance, and a deeper understanding of what successful reintegration truly requires. From managing expectations to recognizing trauma responses, this episode is packed with information every prison wife, family member, and advocate needs to hear. Because coming home is not the end of the journey. For many, it's just the beginning. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

From raw honesty to a few uncomfortable truths, nothing is off limits. Is the level of devotion prison wives give something that would truly be reciprocated—or is that where the dynamic shifts?
