Setbacks and Soul-Talk: A Real Conversation About Recovery with Lorilee and Cali Binstock
Episode 150
Thursday, 1 May, 2025
In the heartfelt season 6 finale of A Trauma Survivor Thriver's Podcast, host Lorilee Binstock is joined by her cousin and Authentic Insider Magazine Creative Director, Cali Binstock for an unscripted and emotional conversation about the realities of recovery, setbacks, and healing. The two dive deep into the messy middle of mental health—those moments when progress feels like it's slipping away, and the tools we've learned feel just out of reach. Lorilee vulnerably shares her recent struggles with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to ask for help, while Cali offers insight, validation, and the kind of support that only a soul-connected family member can give. Together, they reflect on the importance of safe relationships, self-compassion, the power of naming what you need, and how healing is not linear—but more like blooming in cycles. They also discuss Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma behaviors, and the emotional labor it takes to communicate your needs in relationships. Raw, real, and refreshingly honest, this episode is a moving reminder that thriving doesn't mean perfection—it means staying in the work, even when it’s hard.
