    In a sonic realm where depth meets tenderness, Nashville‑based siren and songsmith Meghan Pulles creates music with a healing mission. Her voice carries the kind of emotional truth that doesn’t just tell a story — it reveals one. Every note she sings holds space for transformation, moving with the soft power of vulnerability, survival, and lived experience.

    Meghan’s journey is rooted in pain she never asked for, especially the wounds left by a mother who had a “favorite child” — and it wasn’t her. That kind of emotional abandonment shapes a person, and Meghan turned that ache into art. She even wrote a song about it, “Favorite Child,” a raw, haunting reflection of what it feels like to grow up unseen, unheard, and unchosen.

    Her music lets you feel the childhood she had to survive.

    Rah met Meghan at the Post‑GRAMMYs, where she had just come from the GRAMMY Awards — a moment that symbolized not just success, but resilience. Despite everything she endured, she stood in that room as a woman who refused to let her past silence her future.

    In this episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Meghan opens up about:

    Growing up with a mother who favored another child

    The emotional scars that shaped her identity

    How music became her lifeline

    The pain behind her song “Favorite Child”

    The healing she found in songwriting

    What it meant to be at the GRAMMYs after everything she survived

    How she channels trauma into sound that touches the soul

    Her voice doesn’t just sing — it remembers.
    It carries the weight of what she lived through and the hope of who she became.

    This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply human — a reminder that behind every artist is a story, and behind every story is a survivor.

Desiree’ speaks candidly about surviving an abusive relationship, rebuilding her life, and buying her own home through sheer determination and her financial expertise.

  • From Loss to the Runway: Gaby Haas on Resilience & Reinvention
    May 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this deeply moving episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Gaby Haas opens up about a journey marked by unimaginable loss and extraordinary resilience. Losing her mother at a young age — and her father just five years later — Gaby grew up learning how to survive without the people she loved most. But instead of breaking, she transformed.

    She shares how modeling in Europe seemed impossible, how doors closed in her face, and how designers insulted her body, telling her she needed to be “more fat” to fit their standards. Yet she refused to shrink her spirit. When she came to the United States, everything changed. For the past eight years, Gaby has walked runways in Paris, Milan, and New York City, proving that no one can define her worth but her.

    Today, she uses her pain as purpose — coaching women, training them to love themselves, and teaching them to honor their bodies with strength and compassion. Her message is simple but life‑changing: “Love those that really love you. Love, as if there was nothing more important in your life.”

    This is Gaby Haas — a survivor, a model, a mentor, and a woman who kept walking even when the world tried to stop her.

    In this episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Gaby Haas shares her powerful story of losing both parents at a young age, surviving deep emotional pain, and rebuilding her life through modeling and self‑love. After facing rejection and body‑shaming in Europe, Gaby came to the United States and spent the last eight years walking runways in Paris, Milan, and New York City. She now coaches women in fitness, confidence, and self‑worth. This episode explores grief, resilience, body image, healing, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
