11 FEB 2025 · ⚠️Trigger warning: This episode mentions domestic violence. Listener discretion advised.
Leaving a toxic relationship is one of the hardest things you can do, but what happens after?
How do you rebuild your life, heal from narcissistic abuse, and find your voice again?
In this week's episode, I sit down with https://www.instagram.com/madebymaricruz/, https://madebymaricruz.myportfolio.com who turned her survival story into a powerful form of storytelling.
Maricruz shares how leaving a narcissistic abuser shaped her work and how photography became a tool for healing.
We also dive into resilience, motherhood after abuse, and the first steps to reclaiming your power.
Maricruz’s journey is proof that healing is possible. Her story is a reminder that even after experiencing deep pain and betrayal, you can rebuild, reclaim your voice, and step into a new chapter with strength and purpose.
Healing isn’t linear, sis...but every step forward matters.
Whether you’re in the thick of it, just beginning your journey, or years into your healing, know that you are not alone, and always remember that there is a beautiful life after abuse.

4 FEB 2025 · Trigger warning: This episode mentions domestic violence. Listener discretion advised.
We’re shaking things up this season!🎙️
I’m finally bringing back guest interviews + couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off than with this powerful conversation. Today, I’m sitting down with https://www.instagram.com/janinehernandez_—a https://www.change.org/p/mandating-certification-for-sign-language-interpreters-in-new-york-state?recruiter=1056957568&recruited_by_id=56035ac0-6a80-11ea-8dbc-79b01ceca265&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard&utm_medium=copylink, https://bookpublishingacademy.org & https://janinehernandez.com/#section-sDw-lxfLU—to unpack the reality of spiritual abuse.
This is a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, but it’s something so many people have experienced, often without realizing it.
Janine opens up about how religion was weaponized against her in an abusive relationship, the challenges she faced in breaking free, and how she reclaimed her power through storytelling and healing.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a situation where faith was used as a form of control, this episode is for you.
We’re talking about:
- How spiritual abuse plays a role in DV
- The red flags to look out for in toxic relationships
- The impact of trauma on our healing and decision-making
- Why storytelling is a powerful tool for reclaiming your voice
This conversation is raw, real, and so necessary. Hit play and let’s get into it!

21 JAN 2025 · Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re looking back on your life and realize just how far you’ve come? I know I have.
There was a time when I felt broken, lost, and unsure of how I would ever heal from the emotional wounds that came with toxic relationships and betrayal.
But let me tell you—healing is possible.
In fact, today’s solo episode is all about healing after a major betrayal: cheating/infidelity.
It’s not easy, sis… but, we need to talk about it⤵️
New episode out now: The Impact of Cheating/Infidelity
Sis, we’re diving headfirst into the messy, painful, and VERY real topic of cheating/infidelity in today’s solo episode.
(Don’t worry, my guests episodes are coming back to the show in February!)
Whether you’ve been through it or you’re supporting someone who has, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
Here’s what I’ll be breaking down for you:
✔️ Why people cheat: It’s about their choices—not yours
✔️ The emotional scars: How infidelity affects your trust, self-esteem, and even your identity
✔️ Healing + rebuilding: Practical steps to reclaim your power and move forward stronger than before.
If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a friend who needs to hear it. We all need that reminder that we are enough—no matter what someone else does.

14 JAN 2025 · 🚨Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of domestic violence & healing from past trauma. Please listen with care + seek support if needed.
I'm back this week with another solo episode and I'm diving deep into a personal breakthrough I experienced just recently.
This breakthrough confirmed just how far I've come in my healing journey.
If you've ever questioned your growth or wondered what true healing feels like, this episode is for you.
In this heartfelt conversation, I reflect on realizing that I'm no longer emotionally tied to my past trauma with my most recent abusive ex.
This isn't about masking pain or pretending the hurt never happened, sis. It's about reaching a place of emotional neutrality & genuine peace.
In this convo, I share:
❤️🩹How I realized I've reached a new level of healing
❤️🩹The emotional neutrality & peace I now feel
❤️🩹Breaking free from emotional triggers and toxic patterns
❤️🩹Empowering tips to help you on your healing journey
This conversation is raw, honest, and so necessary.
Healing takes time, self-reflection, and self-love. If you're on your own healing journey, know that you're not alone.
Remember: Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but you can reach a place of peace and self-empowerment.
And remind yourself always that you're worthy of peace, healing & living a life free from your past!

29 OCT 2024 · Trigger warning: This episode mentions domestic violence. Listener discretion advised.
This episode wraps up my month-long series for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I’m so excited to have the https://thehotline.org sponsoring this episode.
It’s been a powerful month of sharing survivor stories, raising awareness & providing resources.
In this episode, we’re diving into the incredible work https://thehotline.org is doing to support those impacted by domestic violence and how they’re helping people take steps toward safety & healing. Allow me to introduce today’s guest, Melissa Dolak-Keller.
With 8+ years of experience at https://thehotline.org, Melissa has worked in multiple roles, from Digital Advocate to Shift Support Specialist & has recently returned to providing direct support to survivors.
After 15 years in the private sector, she found her true calling in victim services, earning a diploma in Violence Against Women from Rutgers & volunteering at a DV shelter before joining https://thehotline.org.
Melissa is committed to helping others & has contributed to the organization’s training, mentorship, and wellness programs.
This week, Melissa shares valuable insights from her years at https://thehotline.org.
We discuss the different forms of abuse, the importance of safety planning & how https://thehotline.org provides confidential, judgment-free support for survivors.
Melissa also highlights the complexities of leaving abusive relationships & the critical role community support plays in the healing journey.
As we close out DVAM, I want to remind you that help is always available. If you or someone you know is in need of support, reach out to https://thehotline.org for free, confidential resources. You don’t have to go through this alone—support is just a call or text away.
