Unapologetic. Unfiltered. Unafraid.
Where Women Get Loud About What They Want
Welcome to the Rebellion!
There comes a moment when you wake up and realize you want more:
MORE connection.
MORE truth.
MORE joy.
MORE you!
Not the watered-down, well-behaved version of you who plays nice and stays small so others feel comfortable. No. I’m talking to the woman whose heart is whispering, “This isn’t it. I want something more. I want something that feel real. I want something that aligns with who I truly am.”
I understand, because after an abusive childhood and a twenty-five-year relationship with my narcissistic ex-husband, I was that woman.
Once I gave myself permission to say no—to the abuse, the expectations, the entire life that didn’t even feel like mine—everything changed.
I ended that marriage. I turned the journal I kept hidden under the couch cushion in the basement into my first book, Gasping for Air: The Stranglehold of Narcissistic Abuse. I was interviewed on nearly 300 podcasts and became the #1 Most Popular Podcast Guest Worldwide. Then I wrote two more books and now speak on stages and in summits centered around women’s empowerment and healing from abuse.
Now I am on Substack, creating a weekly space for women who are done performing, done pretending, and done apologizing for who they are and what they want.
Every week, I’ll be in your inbox with something real. Unfiltered. Thought-provoking. Maybe even a little bit rebellious. We’ll talk about reinvention, power, boundaries, healing, hunger, heartbreak, sisterhood, and rising from the ashes of whatever was supposed to break you.
This isn’t a lifestyle newsletter.
It’s a wake-up call.
It’s a hand on your shoulder and a whisper in your ear, telling you to burn the script and rewrite your story.
This is for women who are bold enough to say: “I’m ready to change my life, connect deeper, and stop pretending I’m fine when I’m actually starving to be seen.”
So, if you’re craving something raw, intelligent, soulful, and fiercely honest—you belong here.
See you next week!
