Justice & What Comes After: Our Healing Isn’t Linear (Part Two)

We’re back in a new studio, a new season of life, and a deeper layer of truth. In Part Two of our justice story, Hollie opens up about what happened after the arrest — the calls from CPS, the court dates, the waiting, the disbelief, and the slow realisation of just how much she’d survived.

This episode isn’t only about the legal process. It’s about what happens inside you when the noise stops. About the guilt and shame that linger even after you’ve left. About therapy, somatic healing, and learning that strength isn’t the same thing as being healed.

Trigger warning: this conversation includes themes of trauma, mental health and abuse. Please listen with care and step away if you need to.

If you’ve ever walked away from something that nearly destroyed you, or you’re still in the middle of it, this episode is for you. We’re building a roadmap for healing together — messy, nonlinear, and real.

“You are not too much. You’re not too late. You are her. And you’re home now.” 🥀

Love,

Hollie & Mollie
