DOLL KILLER | The Podcast

In this episode of DOLL KILLER, I sit down with Sarah Grady, storyteller, author, and Women's Mentor, and creator of Homecoming, for a conversation built the same way she built her book: from root to crown.

We start at the root, Sarah recording this from Ireland, the land of her ancestors and slowly rise through the body's wisdom, the burnout that broke her old identity, the heart of what Homecoming actually means, the courage it takes to be seen, and finally, what she's learning now as she writes her next book.

This is a conversation about the costume we're all handed, the courage it takes to take it off, and what's underneath once we finally do.

Sarah's first book, Homecoming: A Feminine GPS for a Lost World, is available now. https://a.co/05tycznH

What if the most radical act of rebellion was learning to love yourself?

Welcome to the Doll Killer Podcast. Today's conversation is about love. The kind that helps us feel safe in our own bodies again. Please welcome Jyoti Jo Manuel  @lovefromjyoti  a therapeutic yoga teacher, guide, and author of 52 Love Letters to You. She is a true pioneer in yoga for children with special needs and she founded Special Yoga in 2002, now a global movement training parents, educators, yoga therapists, and pediatric professionals across more than 15 countries.

In this episode, Jyoti takes us on the journey of how Yoga found her and how she shares Yoga, Love and Wisdom with the world. We explore what it means to come home to yourself, and how to gently dismantle the harsh inner voices and rigid systems that have kept us small, And to replace them with something far more powerful: presence, breath, and unconditional love.

If you've ever struggled with your inner voice… if you've ever wished someone had spoken to you with more patience, more compassion… this episode is for you.

Please Welcome Viktorija Bowers Adams! A Makeup Artist, Author and Illustrator, a Storyteller and Mother. A woman whose work is rooted in emotion and intuition, wisdom and kindness, and most of unconditional love.

Her first book, I Will Fight Dragons With You, isn’t just a children’s book. It is a love letter to kids (and adults) who feel misunderstood, different, or unseen. With her poetic words and magical illustrations, Viktorija guides children to build their self-worth, courage, and emotional resilience. It’s both a bedtime affirmation and an unconditional love promise, aimed at supporting those who feel alone, anxious, or outside the “norm".

Costume is more than what we wear. It is memory and self expression. In this new episode of Doll Killer, I sit with my dear friend Rosalida Medina, Costume Designer and Storyteller for an intimate conversation about creativity as a healing force.We explore Rosa's journey into becoming a Hollywood Costume Designer, how fabric carries emotion and stories, and how creativity helped her during her cancer recovery. This episode is a reminder that art doesn’t just dress the body, it heals the soul.

Corinne Blum used to be professional dancer with the San Francisco Ballet, a rising star in one of the world’s most prestigious companies. Then one day, everything stopped. A devastating injury ended her career, but began something even deeper. A new kind of dance, one without choreography or applause. The dance with her true self.

In this episode of Doll Killer, Corinne and I dive into her journey from professional dancer to authenticity and intuitive coach, a story of reinvention, vulnerability, and truth. We talk about The Art of Being Real, and how she continues to dance through life, one step at a time.

I am very happy to welcome someone extra special to my heart today!

She is not only an incredible chef, pastry chef, entrepreneur and podcast creator —

She’s also my sister, Marie Delepière.

She is my first Doll Killer!

Marie has for sure chosen the path less traveled.

One of resilience, creativity and love.

Her craft is a love language, feeding the soul and honoring her roots.

Today, I invite you to walk alongside her story.

This conversation is raw, deep, and unapologetically truthful.

We go beneath the surface —

Into Marie’s healing journey, where food becomes both love and medicine.

Tune in. Feel it. Let it move you. 💥

DOLL KILLER, the podcast is for the women AND men who’ve lived inside cages.

Cages built by families, by society, or by their own fears. It is for those who were told to be quiet, to be good, to be small.

For the rebels, the truth-tellers, the survivors, and the rule-breakers.

It is for everyone ready to smash the box that was never theirs to begin with.

Doll killer is about empowerment, across gender, generations and culture —but not the cliché kind. 

We’re talking real, raw, sometimes uncomfortable conversations about:

• Smashing the Box — break free from stereotypes, limitations, and outdated narratives.
• Taking Up Space — own your power, your presence, and your place in the world without apology.
• Reclaiming Your Voice — speak truth, amplify stories, and refuse to be silenced.

We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll call out the bullsh*t along the way.

In each episode, I will have

•A powerful guest who’s smashed their own dollhouse 

•Questions that go deeper than the surface.

•A quick-fire round that reveals the rebellious side of our guests.

•And always—our signature question: What dollhouse are you smashing today?

So “If you’ve ever felt boxed in, silenced, or underestimated—this show is for you.

Subscribe now, share this with the people in your life who are ready to break free, and join the rebellion.

My name is Cécile Delepière.

I am a filmmaker and storyteller—but most importantly, je suis Doll Killer.
