E5 - The Episode I Didn’t Plan to Record


Listen Later

This week’s episode wasn’t planned — it poured out of me because the weight of what I’ve been holding can’t stay in the shadows anymore. For years, I’ve carried the impact of being stalked, harassed, and consistently failed by the systems meant to protect victims. And while a part of me is terrified to speak, another part of me knows this moment is sacred, necessary, and long overdue. In this episode, I open up about what these last five years have done to my family, my nervous system, my sense of safety, and my identity… and why sharing my chapter in the upcoming book Women Who Rose From Ashes feels like both a risk and a lifeline. This isn’t a polished story tied up with a bow — this is me in the trenches, naming what’s true, trusting that something bigger is being rewritten through the fire, and offering a hand to anyone who’s fighting their own invisible battle. 🎧 Episode Chapters (10 Key Moments) 00:01 — Hitting record with no plan 00:19 — The weight I can’t keep carrying alone 01:10 — The book contract + why I can’t stay silent 02:10 — Being failed by the justice system again 03:44 — The soul-contract questions I can’t escape 05:08 — When the fallout touches every part of your life 07:22 — Living in fear inside my own home 08:50 — His sudden release + the break in my inner world 10:33 — The emotional toll I can’t outrun 12:50 — Why I’m finally letting myself be seen 🔗 Links & Resources Mentioned Women Who Rose From Ashes (releasing December 9) @sovereignacrescommunity Follow The Danika Chevalier Show on Instagram: @thedanikachevaliershow Tippy Tallow — Nurse-Formulated Skincare Made With Heart, Soul & Service www.tippytallow.com 💌 Let’s Connect If this episode touched you, opened something in you, or made you feel less alone in your own heaviness, share it with someone who needs to hear it. ✨ Leave a review, tag @iamdanikachevalier, and keep this conversation going.
