From Smear Campaign to Self-Healing: Standing in My Freedom

Send us a text

In this week’s episode, I’m opening up about something I touched on earlier today over on TikTok—why it is okay to talk about the realities of a toxic divorce, and why sharing our experiences doesn’t automatically mean we’re “bashing” anyone. I’m diving deeper into what it means to tell the truth, stand in your emotional maturity, and use your story as a beacon for others who feel like they’re barely surviving the storm.

I also explore what healing has actually looked like for me—how far I’ve come, the resilience I didn’t even know I had, and the profound peace I’ve found in my new life. If you’re navigating isolation, confusion, or the aftershocks of someone else’s destructive behavior, this episode will help you feel understood, validated, and far less alone.
