This week on "Upside of 40 with Sean Mooney", we talk about overcoming and living with a traumatic event in your life, as we welcome Kathy De La Torre, host of The Inspire Cafe Podcast. Kathy discusses the trauma that she experienced in her life, being in an abusive relationship. Kathy talks about the different ways her partner abused her, and why she stayed in the relationship despite the abuse. Kathy explores why people have difficulty dealing with traumatic events, and how men differ from women in dealing with trauma. Kathy also talks about how to get over the fear of talking about a traumatic event, how she was able to overcome it and start improving herself...and how you can too.

Plus, Sean debuts the new "What's Up!" segment, discussing recent news topics like FaceApp, as well as the outlook of Social Security for retirees.
