Life is not peaches & cream ft. Pete Tomasko

Pete Tomasko, a successful recruiter with an extraordinary life story. Pete opens up about his journey from a traumatic childhood to a decade of homelessness and addiction, and his eventual path to recovery and reconciliation. Pete shares the heart-wrenching details of losing his mother at a young age and the cascade of events that led him to abandon his family and disappear for ten years. He provides a raw, unflinching look at life on the streets, including his struggles with substance abuse and the daily fight for survival.

What does "Unspoken" mean to us? Often, the quiet that occurs in the context of trauma can be as painful as the event(s) itself. The things that others do not do to protect us or do not say to to comfort us are the aspects of memory that stick with us. Social silence breeds complacency. When others fail to speak up in defense, protection, and acknowledgment of the struggles faced by marginalized groups, it leaves individuals feeling isolated and unsupported, living parallel lives devoid of equal opportunities and protections afforded to the majority.

In each episode, we bring you stories of resilience, vulnerability, and courage. Our guests share their personal journeys and professional insights, offering valuable perspectives on navigating trauma, finding healing, and reclaiming one's life. Join us as we uncover the unspoken truths of trauma, recovery, and the transformative power of storytelling. Together, we can find strength in vulnerability and create pathways to healing that honor the complexity of our human experiences.
