What Happens After the Headlines? Tennyson Jacobson on Trauma, Resilience and Rewriting Her Story

What happens after you kill to survive?
 

It was Mother’s Day, 2013.

Tennyson Jacobson was home with her newborn and her mom when a man slipped through an unlocked door. In seconds, her safe world vanished—he grabbed her by the ponytail, robbed her, and disappeared.
 

The next night, he came back.

There was a fight. A knife.

And by the time it was over, the man who tried to destroy her family was dead on her floor.
 

Most stories end here. But this is where Tennyson’s begins.
 

In this raw and deeply honest episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we go beyond the headlines to ask the real question: How do you heal after surviving the unimaginable?
 

What does it take to trust again when your nervous system never lets you forget?

How do you reclaim safety in your own skin?

And why did this terrifying night lead her to a journey of resilience, Internal Family Systems therapy, spiritual exploration, and ultimately… her book, Mother of All Days?
 

This conversation is about what no one talks about: the years after. It’s about the body keeping score, listening to whispers of intuition, and discovering strength you never knew you had.
 

Do you think you know what happens after trauma? Think again.
