In this moving episode, we sit down with Tajay, a survivor of gender-based violence, who shares her story with honesty, courage, and grace. Tajay takes us through her journey — from surviving abuse to rebuilding her life, reclaiming her voice, and rediscovering who she is beyond what she’s endured.

Together, we talk about what life after leaving really looks like — the quiet strength it takes to heal, the uncertainty of new relationships, and the beauty of learning to love yourself again. Tajay reflects on the process of finding out what she likes, who she wants to be, and how she’s learned to navigate the world on her own terms.

This conversation is about more than survival — it’s about identity, freedom, and the ongoing work of healing. It’s raw, real, and deeply inspiring.
