Most of us were trained to keep it quiet:
“Don’t talk about what happened.” “Just move on.” “Be grateful, it could have been worse.”
But unspoken stories don’t disappear — they live in our nervous systems.
They show up as overworking, people-pleasing, anger, isolation, addiction, control… all the stuff we think is “just how we are.”
Every time you tell the truth, your past loses a little more power in your mind.
Every time you’re seen in your story and not rejected, your system learns a new reality: you’re not broken, you’re human.
Every time someone else hears a story like theirs, they realize they’re not alone — and that might be the moment they decide not to give up.
Experienced significant challenges or trauma in childhood (abuse, neglect, chaos, abandonment, violence, or other deep emotional pain).
Have started or are building a business, brand, or mission-driven project.
Are willing to talk about both:
What happened then and
Who they’re becoming now.
Are able and willing to travel to Murfreesboro, TN to record in person.
Are ready to have a real, unpolished conversation — not a highlight reel.
Simple prep: You’ll get a few guiding questions ahead of time so you feel grounded and prepared.
Safe, respectful conversation: This is not about shock value. We go at a pace that feels safe for you. You can always choose what you do and don’t share.
In-person recording: We record at Spread The Podcast Studio in Murfreesboro, TN. It’s a professional, comfortable environment designed to help you relax and drop into the conversation.
Focus on both pain and power: We’ll explore your childhood experience, how it shaped you, how it showed up in your life and business, and what “power in the pain” looks like for you now.
Amplification of your work: We’ll shout out your business, book, or project so people know how to connect with you after the episode.
