Learning To Love

Season 4

Karen – Pepe was a little girl from Jamaica who believed love would fuel her like a plane and she could fly anywhere. Then she landed in Canada at three years old looking for her daddy, for turquoise water, for everything familiar, and instead found a mother who never once said I love you, a community that made her feel ugly, and a world that made her believe being Black was the problem. So Pepe disappeared and Karen was born. Not by choice. By survival.

The Boy Who Refused To Break

Season 4

Seth – Not all trauma is loud. Some of it lives quietly beneath the surface, showing up as people-pleasing, the need to be needed, doing more than your share so no one questions your worth, and inherited beliefs about love we were never taught to question. These patterns often go unnamed, yet they shape how we love, how we trust, how we show up for others, and ultimately, what we pass on. In this powerful Season 4 conversation of the Life’s Deceit Podcast, Jen Simpson sits down with Seth Gehle to explore what happens when a child is exposed to harm from every direction at once—and what it takes to refuse to let that pain become your identity.
