Host: Kim Hayden

Theme: Breaking cycles, reclaiming identity & the author’s journey through trauma and truth-telling.

✨ Episode Summary

In this powerful episode, Kim sits down with author Dana, whose trilogy — Gasping for Air, Choking on Shame, and Rising from the Ashes — chronicles her journey through childhood trauma, domestic violence, self-rediscovery, and generational healing.

Dana opens up about decades of silent suffering, the moment she chose herself, and how chronic stress nearly cost her her life. Through writing, she found a voice — and through publishing, she became a cycle-breaker for thousands of readers who finally feel understood and seen.

Kim and Dana explore why women often stay silent, the real consequences of long-term trauma, and the responsibility of authors with impact-driven stories. Dana emphasizes the reader’s reward: “You are not alone — and the power has always been within you.”
