Episode Details

One year ago, I launched the Life After I Left podcast.

A space for women to share the stories they had spent years hiding.

A space to break the silence.

And now?

53 episodes, 39 guests, listeners in 45 countries, 6 live events, and a community that continues to grow in ways I never imagined.

It’s just me here today, reflecting on the first year of the podcast, the journey that led me here, and the powerful impact storytelling can have when women feel safe enough to share their truth.

I talk about why I created Life After I Left after surviving domestic violence relationships, how storytelling helped save my own life, and why I believe sharing our experiences can create connection, healing, and change.

I also share some podcast and event milestones, reflect on the stories that have deeply impacted others, and give a glimpse of what’s coming next, including an international event, a national tour, a book anthology, and building a brand new business to help women move through fear and change their lives.

In this episode, I chat about:

• Celebrating one year of the Life After I Left podcast
• The impact of sharing vulnerable, real-life stories, and how safe spaces can change lives
• Podcast and event milestones from the past year
• The top episodes and themes listeners connected with most
• Using fear as a catalyst for growth and transformation
• The future of Life After I Left, including an overseas event, a book anthology, a national tour, and more!

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for holding space for these stories.

Thank you for sharing episodes, attending events, sending messages, and helping this community grow.

And remember: Don’t be silent. Be unstoppable.
