Juliet and Mike talk about the unfair labeling of "crazy" towards women who are passionately defending their families, beliefs, and setting boundaries. This podcast is based on a BrokenGirl Unchained article by the same title. The duo also discuss a recent listener email asking advice about dealing with a serial cheating partner. This podcast helps to shed light on the double standard that strong women encounter in their own lives. 

Juliet tells Mike the story behind her own suicide attempt back in 2011. Her story had been told and used for narcissistic purposes by others and Juliet finally had enough. As a result she decided to write an article in 2018 titled, "Through the Looking Glass of a 5150" which told her story from her own perspective. Juliet talks about the events that led to that fateful day and how a temporary decision in a moment of crisis could have had a lasting impact on family and friends. She also talks about the article titled, "The Butterfly Effect" where she writes about the consequences of drastic choices. Both articles are available to read on the BrokenGirl Unchained site and were published in Healer's Magazine. Both Juliet and Mike are proponents of suicide prevention and letting people understand they they are not alone.

Juliet and Mike sit down with vocalist, songwriter, and lead singer of Evol Walks, Leah Martin-Brown to talk about music, life, relationships, and all things in between. Leah is an amazing singer who has been making a name for herself in the music industry. Her down-to-earth personality and drive make her an impressive woman, one that we know the BrokenGirl audience will enjoy. We truly loved having her as a guest on the show, and her positive energy is impressive. We know that you'll enjoy our interview with this badass and beautiful musician. 

Leah Martin-Brown's Bio:
From humble beginnings, Leah spent her early teenage years practicing her craft by playing in bars and clubs around Brisbane and the Gold Coast under the moniker 'Lilly Rouge'. By 17 she had been accepted into Griffith University's prestigious Bachelor of Popular Music where she was able to fine tune her burgeoning talents. It was during this time that she began to seriously pursue her career as a professional songwriter and musician, working with producer Stuart Stuart (Sheppard) on heavier material for 'Lilly Rouge', which had been a solo, acoustic project up until that point.

After completing her degree at the end of 2011 Leah packed her bags and moved to Melbourne to do some musical soul searching. Inspired by the vibrance of the city she was able to pen over thirty new songs enabling her to record three EP's for 'Lilly Rouge' and head out on two National tours which included spots supporting 'Everclear' and 'Presidents of the United States' as well as a set at the once coveted 'Big Day Out' festival.

In 2014, after piquing the interest of an American based A&R company, Leah once again packed her bags and made the move to Los Angeles, California where she is still based to this day. It was there she started up her rock and roll band 'Evol Walks' who have now gone on to tour worldwide and score a management deal with Rick Sales (Slayer, Ghost, Mastodon).
