For this year's domestic violence awareness month, we decided to bring together the baddest class of women we know: survivors.

Recorded on October 18, 2021 at Caveat NYC, host Brittany Brave is joined by Jennifer Eckhart (reporter, host of REINVENTED podcast), Cara Turcich (Director, Safe Way Out NJ) and co-host Nathalie Farfan of La Brujas Club for a night of candid story-telling, comedy and taboo-breaking.

The stories have heart and the jokes are dark, making for a hilarious, raw, intimate night of entertainment that celebrates reclaiming your narrative, rebuilding your life and producing art all in the wake of abuse.

If you or someone you know is in a dangerous situation, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233. All calls remain anonymous.

The hustle is strong in this episode. We welcome director, cinematographer, writer, producer, badass Natalie Polanco. We cover the side effects of hustling too hard, throwing your hat in the ring and prioritization. Natalie shares her thoughts on self-composure and emotional mastery, and how we can use those elements to our advantage if we get their influence under control.

It's hard to keep up with all the hats Dee Guerreros' rocks: nurse, photographer, podcaster, chef, incredible woman and founder of The Donas, a female-centric community based in NYC.  We talk about telling the right stories and betting on the underdog, no matter the circumstance. Dee is a great example of someone who promotes true advocacy and camaraderie between women so it was a delight getting to learn how she built and sustained these relationships and how she stays true to her mission, even if the details change.

Molly Mulshine is a writer, comic and presenter based in London, UK. Molly hosts the Diva Behavior podcast and co-hosts US Weekly's Royally Us. Before relocation to the UK, Molly and I met under the context of a comedy show targeted at sexual assault survivors. As two women who saw life on the other side of domestic violence, we quickly bonded, and we unpack misconceptions around DV, toxic Internet culture and its effect on body positivity and the pros and cons of injecting ethos into your writing and comedy.

Gabrielle and I met during our time at University of Florida. In between logging hours of performing improv (shout out Theatre Strike Force), I watched Gabrielle conceive and launch Stronger Than Stigma, an incredible non-profit organization working to break the stigma around mental health advocacy and awareness. In a few short years, STS has grown to be a force in North Florida community and beyond, and Gabrielle has become a huge advocate and source of support for many individuals dealing with mental health issues. 

In this episode, Gabrielle shares what it's like to build the correct community around the issues you care about and how you can minimize ignorance for progress, healing and change. 

This episode was originally recorded via Instagram Live in April 2020 so please bare with any glitches.
