Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother in the early morning hours of New Year's Eve. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state. After having my story featured on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. Every week, I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma, overcoming adversity, and moving on. Along with sharing my healing process, I speak with fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what came next. I hope this podcast serves as a kind of therapy and reconciliation for myself, and anyone who may be processing betrayal and dark trauma in their lives.

Trigger Warning: This video contains a discussion of sensitive topics including gun violence, mass shootings, and surviving those violent incidents. If you are triggered in any way, please stop the video and seek counseling from a mental health professional.

America is suffering through a bloody and ongoing epidemic; one for which there is no vaccine. In this week's episode, we're analyzing mass shootings and speaking to a woman who survived the worst mass shooting in US history with her children. You may have thought about what you would do during a mass shooting, but what do you do after? Physical wounds aren't the only wounds bullets can cause. As we hear, mental trauma can create scars that last a lifetime.

  • Listen to the first-hand account of Stacie Armentrout. She was injured but lived through the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017. To this day, the bloodshed at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Vegas was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. After the lone gunman stopped firing, 58 people were dead, and more than a staggering 850 were injured. Stacie was in the middle of it with her daughters.
  • What do you think in the middle of shooting may not be what your body lets you do. "Fight or flight" isn't always something you have physical control over.
  • "Locks are for honest people." Collier and Stacie discuss the bloodlust killers have, and question what can be done to stop these people beforehand.
  • Could you be going to work every day and sitting next to a potential mass murderer and not know it? Do you know the signs to look for? Stacie and Collier explore the importance of making those answers more mainstream.
  • Shootings and traumatic events can trigger emotional breakdowns in survivors. Hear why Stacie says it's okay to experience those feelings, and why it's essential to acknowledge that sometimes we can't control everything.
