In this emotional and empowering episode, we hear the deeply moving story of Julie Barth, a mother of six, author, and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach charity. Julie shares her journey from losing her first husband to pancreatic cancer, to navigating life as a widowed mother, and later, surviving an emotionally abusive second marriage.

Through heartbreak, shame, survival, and profound personal growth, Julie speaks candidly about how trauma can silence us - and what it means to finally step into your own voice. She discusses the patterns of toxic relationships, the subtle signs of emotional abuse, the difficulty of facing our own truth, and the strength it takes to break the cycle.

Julie’s story is a testament to resilience, self-worth, and the healing power of truth. Whether you’re in the midst of your own storm or on the other side of it, this episode will offer comfort, insight, and hope.

"I thought if I packed my grief away tightly enough, it couldn’t hurt me—but the truth is, it always finds a way to surface."

"It’s not your job to make a relationship work. It’s your job to protect your peace."
