From Divorce to a U-Haul Breakdown: The Hidden Trauma of Moving
Manage episode 522441103 series 3444242
Moving is one of the top five most stressful life events, right next to divorce, job loss & Death! And today’s guest, Julie, has lived through all three at the same time.
In this conversation, Julie, a longtime Content Marketing Strategist, now working for Bailey’s Moving & Storage, shares the brutally honest story of her 2018 move: newly divorced, raising kids alone, working a new job, avoiding the boxes she didn’t want to face, and breaking down in a U-Haul parking lot after running over a metal beam.
We explore the deeper layers behind moving that most people never talk about:
- Why packing triggers anxiety, ADHD overwhelm, and decision fatigue
- How grief, divorce, and major life transitions compound moving stress
- Relocation depression and the emotional cost of change
- What happens when life pushes you past your limit
- How professional movers can reduce the emotional and physical load
Julie brings wisdom, humor, vulnerability, and real-life resilience to a topic most people only think about logistically... not emotionally. Her story offers hope for anyone navigating moving, upheaval, or the slow work of rebuilding a life when everything feels uncertain.
Bailey’s Moving & Storage serves Colorado, Utah, interstate, and international moves, and they understand the human side of transition better than anyone.
Listen in for a conversation about change, resilience, and why moving is never “just moving.”
