Welcome back to Sparky Life, where we don’t just wire up circuits — we rebuild lives. This week, Lia opens up like never before in one of the most powerful episodes to date. From a women’s shelter with nothing but bruises and a backpack, to making six figures as an electrician — this is the real story behind the spark.

Please seek professional advice if you are dealing with the topics raised in this episode. The shelter that helped and that was referenced in this episode - https://www.catholiccharitiestrenton.org/

💥 Lia shares:

• The truth about hitting absolute rock bottom
• How domestic abuse crept in — and what it really looks like
• Why leaving isn’t as simple as it seems
• What it’s like to be tracked down, flee across state lines, and rebuild from zero
• How a random suggestion to apply for a women’s trades pre-apprenticeship changed everything
• The exact moment she stopped surviving… and started fighting back
• What society gets so wrong about “just leaving”
• And why rock bottom is a solid foundation to build a life on

This episode is raw, vulnerable, and unforgettable. It’s for anyone who thinks it’s too late, too hard, or too scary to start over. Because Lia did — and she’s not just surviving anymore. She’s thriving.
