Breathe Underwater Podcast

The Breathe Underwater Podcast creates a judgement-free space that provides hope, a golden nugget, or a takeaway for those who have experienced adversity, tragedy, or some kind of trauma in their life. The main focus is the exploration of that key moment in one's life, despite the pain, when healing could begin. What was their turning point? How did they know they were going to be ok? Many have lived through chaos and have experienced their own personal trauma that translates into a lifelong cross to bear. April & Whitney are ready to share how they and their podcast guests have learned to Breathe Underwater, embrace the chaos, and transcend their trauma, allowing for strength to emerge where otherwise fear and pain would dominate.

  1. Breathe Underwater Ep. 12, Pt. 2, April & Whitney's final recording

    FEB 23

    Breathe Underwater Ep. 12, Pt. 2, April & Whitney's final recording

    It is with a heavy, broken heart that we share the last recording with Whitney. She was selfishly taken by a drunk driver in the early morning hours of February 8, 2024. She was 39 years old. It has been a terrible year of loss and struggle where we find ourselves, ironically, learning to breathe underwater. It's ok to drown. For many of us life "just is." It's not right, and it's not wrong. It just is. And it's ok to respect the "is." Listen as April & Whitney share part two of April's journey and struggles along the way. This is the last recording we have of Whitney. Since we touch on abuse in this episode, for anyone who needs help, PLEASE SEEK IT.
