Dear Trust…
What do you do when trust isn’t just broken by people—but by God, too? In this raw and reflective episode of Her Resilient Voice, Andrea writes a letter to Trust. She unpacks how it forms, how it breaks, and what it looks like to rebuild it—especially when the betrayal feels divine. From childhood prayers to devastating loss, from gut feelings that proved true to choices she never thought she’d have to make, this letter is a journey through faith, doubt, grief, and healing. If you’ve ever wrestled with God in the middle of your pain, or questioned whether trusting again is even worth it—this one’s for you.

Dear Pain…
In this raw and reflective episode of Her Resilient Voice, Andrea writes a letter to one of life’s most persistent and misunderstood companions: pain. From childhood injuries and family fractures to the heartbreaking loss of her brother and the silent wounds of love gone wrong, she traces the way pain has shaped, stretched, and sometimes stalled her. But instead of running from it, Andrea leans in—asking the hard questions and finding unexpected lessons along the way. This is not a glorification of suffering. It’s a reckoning with it. An acknowledgment that pain, while relentless, might also be purposeful. If you’ve ever asked, “Why does it have to hurt so much?”—this episode is for you. Listen in and be reminded: you are not broken because you’re in pain. You are becoming.

Dear Silence (The Kind That Isn’t Mine)…
Silence can feel like safety—until it starts to suffocate you. In this episode, I write a letter to Silence, the quiet companion I carried into relationships, motherhood, and courtrooms. For a long time, silence felt like control. Like power. Like survival. But eventually, I realized it was keeping me from truth, from healing, and from fully showing up for myself. I unpack how my voice was buried under fear, trauma, and a desire to keep the peace—and how reclaiming it became my greatest act of resistance. If you’ve ever been told to “just stay quiet,” this one’s for you.

Unsilenced: Brittani Louise Taylor
On the outside, Brittani Louise Taylor’s life looked picture-perfect—millions of YouTube followers, a new home, a bright future. But behind the scenes, she was trapped in a relationship built on lies, manipulation, and fear. In this episode of Her Resilient Voice: Unsilenced, we follow Brittani’s journey from meeting a charming suitor who claimed to be a doctor, to uncovering a web of deception and control that nearly cost her everything—including her safety and her child.

Her story is a powerful reminder that abuse doesn’t always leave bruises—and that trusting yourself can be the first step toward freedom.

Dear Spark…
In this episode of Her Resilient Voice, we’re calling something back to the surface—something that’s been buried under burnout, motherhood, survival mode, and silence. This is a letter to the spark that never really left… even if it felt like it did. Join me as I unpack the moments that made me question my light, the lies I believed about what it means to “glow,” and how I started reclaiming the version of myself I thought was gone. From navigating depression to rediscovering joy in the smallest, grittiest moments, this one’s for anyone who’s been told to dim down, sit still, or disappear for the sake of others. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been. You don’t need a glow-up. You need a wake-up.

Unsilenced: Susan Still
For over a decade, Susan Still endured emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her husband—behind closed doors and in front of her children. But in 2003, everything changed when he forced their 13-year-old son to record a 51-minute video of him berating and beating her. That tape—meant to humiliate—became the evidence that finally brought justice. In this episode of Her Resilient Voice: Unsilenced, we walk through Susan’s harrowing journey from victim to survivor to national advocate. From the courtroom to The Oprah Winfrey Show, Susan didn’t just reclaim her life—she amplified her voice to help thousands of others do the same. Trigger warning: This episode includes descriptions of domestic abuse and child endangerment.

Dear Patience…
In this raw and revealing episode of Her Resilient Voice, Andrea reads a letter to someone she gave too much of and got too little back from—patience. What starts as a reflection on grace quickly turns into a powerful reckoning with betrayal, broken promises, and the painful discovery of a secret child born during a marriage that was already hanging by a thread. Andrea opens up about what it feels like to hold space for someone who was rehearsing their exit all along—and how reclaiming your peace sometimes means walking away from everything you once believed in. If you’ve ever stayed too long, waited too hard, or given too much of yourself in the name of love, this episode will feel like a mirror—and maybe even a turning point.

Unsilenced: Marissa Alexander
In 2010, Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot into the air to protect herself from her abusive husband. No one was hurt. She had a restraining order. She used a legally owned firearm. The court gave her 20 years in prison. In this episode, we walk through Marissa’s story—a story that exposes the brutal reality of how the justice system treats survivors, especially Black women. Because when a woman chooses survival, she shouldn’t be punished for it. This isn’t just a story. It’s a pattern. And we’re done staying quiet about it.

Dear Recklessness…
In this raw and reflective episode of Her Resilient Voice, Andrea shares a heartfelt letter to a season of her life she once mistook for freedom—Recklessness. What started as a way to escape pain and fill silence quickly spiraled into a pattern of distraction, danger, and disconnection. But in the wreckage, healing began. Through storytelling, humor, and spiritual insight, Andrea invites listeners to examine the moments when avoidance wore a mask, and peace felt out of reach. This episode is for every woman who has ever made choices to numb the pain, questioned her worth, or struggled to be alone with her own thoughts. If you’ve ever been there—or you’re there now—this letter is for you. Resources & Coaching: Learn more about Andrea’s work and explore coaching opportunities at HerResilientVoice.org.

Unsilenced: Meagan Broussard
When Meagan Broussard noticed signs that her 5-year-old daughter was being abused, she did everything a mother is supposed to do. She went to doctors. She filed reports. Mandated reporters raised alarms. But instead of protecting her child, the family court system turned on her. Meagan was accused of “parental alienation,” a term often used to silence mothers in courtrooms across America. The result? She lost custody. In this episode, we break down Meagan’s story—and expose how family court punishes mothers who speak up. With real facts, real consequences, and a system that claims to protect children but often fails them. Because when survivors speak, the world should listen. And here, we always will.

Dear Naiveté…
In this raw and reflective episode, I write a farewell letter to a version of myself that once believed the world—and the women in it—played fair. Dear Naïveté dives into the painful but necessary lessons learned through betrayal, infidelity, and the harsh reality that not every woman shares the same values, respect, or integrity. I talk candidly about the woman who crossed every boundary, the man who handed her the key—literally—and the terrifying moment my child was hidden from me as leverage. This episode is not just a goodbye to blind trust—it’s a reclaiming of wisdom, boundaries, and resilience. If you’ve ever had to confront the uncomfortable truth that some people thrive on destruction, this one’s for you. Plus, I share a personal update on the mission behind Her Resilient Voice Inc. and how we’re working to create real, lasting support for survivors of domestic violence—starting now with coaching, and soon expanding into legal aid and more. Listen in. Let go. And never apologize for outgrowing your naivety.

Dear Resilience…
In this episode of Her Resilient Voice, I reflect on my journey with resilience—how it emerged in moments of pain, survival, and ultimately, growth. From childhood struggles with a congenital defect to the unimaginable loss of my brother, resilience showed up, sometimes out of sheer spite, refusing to let me fall. I share the moments that tested me most: navigating grief, reclaiming my health, surviving domestic violence, and finding my voice in a system that wasn’t always willing to hear it. Through it all, I discovered that resilience isn’t just about enduring hardship—it’s about rising, speaking, and owning the strength that hardship builds. Join me as I explore what it means to be shaped, not shattered, and how resilience became both my shield and my voice.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the twists and turns that led me to embrace a profound and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In this episode, I open up about the significant moments and life experiences that shaped my faith journey. My path to Christianity was anything but straightforward. It was a winding road marked by moments of doubt, intense questioning, and unexpected revelations.

I’ll start by sharing my early experiences and the seeds of faith that were planted in my heart. From a young age, I felt a deep yearning for purpose and understanding, even though life’s hardships often overshadowed these feelings.

I’ll share some of the prayers and verses that were particularly meaningful in my spiritual growth. Throughout this episode, I will highlight the importance of developing a personal relationship with Jesus, which became the cornerstone of my faith. Unlike traditional narratives where church community plays a central role, my journey was deeply personal and introspective. I’ll discuss how this personal connection provided me with the resilience and courage to navigate life’s challenges and uncertainties. “The Winding Path in My Christian Walk” also addresses the common misconceptions and hurdles faced by those embarking on a new spiritual journey.
