I’m talking openly about a domestic violence experience I went through years ago and, more importantly, about the aftermath of what it’s like to carry those experiences as a woman, a leader, and a business owner. This episode isn’t about shock value or getting attention. It’s about truth-telling, discernment, and understanding that when we take up space publicly, there are real-life consequences in how people perceive you, treat you, and respect you. I share how I decided when to tell this story, why now , how I resourced myself before doing it, and why leadership requires bravery, integrity, and care for yourself and others. 📌 In this episode, I talk about: Why sharing tender stories requires discernment , resourcing, and a clear “why” How visibility impacts real-world safety, reputation, and respect , especially for women The difference between sharing from a regulated, integrated place versus from dysregulation How patriarchy, misogyny, and internalized beliefs show up in dating, business, and leadership Why telling the truth is part of women reclaiming power , even when it makes people uncomfortable 💬 Quotes from the episode: “Truth telling has real life impact.” “Leadership isn’t becoming smarter. It’s becoming braver.” “You can be truthful, direct, and compassionate at the same time.” “If you’re going to share something tender, it needs to be connected to a bigger mission.” “This is what healing looks like. It’s tender sometimes.” 🔗 Resources & Support 🗓️ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mariacamilaphoto/30min 🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready: https://fabulous-surf-71618.myflodesk.com/brand-shoot-ready ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/a-felt-experience-6435899/episodes/131-sharing-my-story-on-domestic-violence-and-the-aftermath/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-felt-experience-6435899/131-sharing-my-story-on-domestic-violence-and-the-aftermath.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
