About this episode

Julie Barth shares her journey as a trauma survivor and the challenges of raising a daughter with a rare genetic condition while navigating personal loss and abuse.

Julie Barth is a mother, writer, trauma survivor and founder of a nonprofit that supports women-led households in crisis. She talks about raising a daughter with a rare genetic condition, losing her husband to cancer and finding her way out of an abusive relationship that followed. The conversation digs into how trauma shapes us, the unseen load so many women carry and the work of letting yourself be vulnerable in a world that keeps asking you to be strong. Julie’s story is honest and brave and rooted in her fight to rebuild meaning and independence after profound loss.
