Episode 47: One Year of Almost Oblivious

A year ago on Halloween, Almost Oblivious was born — a small podcast with a big purpose: to break the silence on domestic violence.

What started as my personal healing journey has grown into a community of survivors, advocates, and listeners who remind me every day that our stories matter.

In this special anniversary episode, I’m opening up about who I am, why I started this podcast, and how this past year has changed everything — from turning 30, navigating narcolepsy, working full time, and preparing to welcome our baby boy, to reflecting on how far we’ve come together.

💜 Here’s to one year of courage, community, and growth — and to the many stories still to come.
