This podcast shares raw, personal stories of surviving childhood abuse, toxic relationships, and deep betrayal—and the journey to healing and rising. Host Dawn McClara speaks truth about trauma and transformation, reminding survivors they are not broken. This is your space to feel seen, empowered, and ready to reclaim your life. You’re not alone—and you’re not what they did to you. Warning, there may be some explicit language in some episodes as I am focused on being authentic and unapologetically me.
Everything Feels Impossible Until It’s Done: Rebuilding After the Unthinkable with Vincent Van Den Broeck
After a devastating scooter accident left him with multiple fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and only a small chance of recovery, Vincent Vandebroek had to rebuild his life one step at a time. In this powerful conversation, Vincent shares how he defied expectations, changed his priorities, and discovered that the life we intentionally build can become the very thing that saves us.
Dawn and Vincent discuss resilience, family, authenticity, and the importance of defining what “the other side” looks like before creating a plan to reach it. His story is a compelling reminder that being shattered does not mean being broken—and that what feels impossible today may simply be something you haven’t accomplished yet.

When Strong Becomes Exhausting
What happens when the strength that helped you survive starts wearing you out?
In this episode of Shattered Not Broken, I’m talking about something I’m living through right now: burnout. Not because everything is falling apart, but because I’ve spent so much time doing, achieving, providing, helping, proving, and staying busy that somewhere along the way, I stopped making room for myself.
A song playing in the background while I worked made me realize something uncomfortable: I may have stopped molding myself to fit into certain relationships, but I haven’t completely stopped trying to prove that I’m worthy.
This episode is about recognizing when strength becomes survival mode, when productivity becomes avoidance, and when taking care of everyone else leaves nothing for you.

The “I’m Fine” Epidemic- Why Therapy Is for Everyone-
In this honest and refreshingly candid conversation, Dawn sits down with licensed therapist Sidni Brown, owner of Evoke Therapy and Wellness, to challenge some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding therapy. They explore the difference between functioning and truly being okay, why so many of us believe we should handle everything alone, and how staying busy can become a way to avoid facing what is happening beneath the surface.
Sydney also shares what therapy actually looks like, how to find the right therapist, and why your struggles are valid—even when someone else may appear to have it worse. This episode is a powerful reminder that asking for help is not weakness, healing does not have a deadline, and you are worthy of the time, support, and space it takes to become whole.
