You know those stories that live under your skin for decades? The ones that get louder when life gets quieter? This episode is one of those.

My guest, my friend - Lenore, isn't here to rehash horror for your shock or sympathy. She's here because she's finally ready to own the story that nearly broke her... and the healing that's reshaped her ever since.

We talk about what it means to carry a secret for 20+ years, how perimenopause unearthed a trauma she thought she'd buried, and why surviving something awful doesn't mean you're automatically "over it." From PTSD to parenting, TED Talks to therapy, this is about what happens when your past catches up to your midlife - and how you get your power back anyway.

It's raw, it's real, and it's not about voyeurism. It's about visibility. For every woman who's ever wondered if it's too late to speak your truth: it's not. We're not girls anymore. But we've still got big stories to tell.
