Episode 11: The Cost of Silence: What No Child Should Ever Carry
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse.
In this deeply important episode, we hold space for a story that’s hard to tell—but necessary to hear.
We explore the devastating impact of childhood sexual assault and the lifelong ripple effects it can have on the nervous system, identity, relationships, and sense of safety.
This conversation is raw, honest, and heartbreaking—and it’s also a testament to survival, resilience, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.
If you’re a survivor, please take care as you listen.
If you love someone who’s been through it, this episode may help you understand them more deeply.
And if you’ve been silent about your own story, may this open a crack of possibility for your healing.
You are not alone. And your story matters.

Episode 10: Behind the Mic - My Turn To Be Asked
I’m usually the one creating a safe space for others to open up… but in this episode, I let someone hold space for me. I answered questions I didn’t expect. I shared things I didn’t plan to.
💔 This moment cracked something open for me—and I shared it on the mic.

Episode 9: She Was Born from Trauma — And Turned Her Pain Into Power
In this raw and deeply moving episode, my guest opens up about the unimaginable — addiction, kidnapping, sexual violence, and being a child conceived through rape. Her story is one of the darkest paths a human can walk… and yet, she found a way through.
With unshakable courage, she shares how motherhood became her lifeline — how her child saved her, how she chose healing, and how she now helps others find light through the wisdom of astrology. Now, she helps others walk their own path of liberation — using astrology and birth chart work as a mirror to remember who they truly are.
This is more than a story of survival.
It’s a story of reclamation. Of breaking generational pain. Of finding purpose in the ashes.
And of remembering that even in the depths, there is always a way home.
This episode is tender, powerful, and sacred. Watch it when you’re ready to feel.

Episode 7: When the Body Speaks & Boundaries Get Loud
In this episode, my sister and I talk about how the body communicates when we ignore our needs—and how it eventually forces us to listen. We also dive into the discomfort of setting boundaries, especially when you’ve gone your whole life without them. Spoiler: the ones who benefited from your lack of boundaries are the ones who’ll resist them the most.
