Victoria Price: From Teenage Mum To Big Four Partner

I Thought I Had Healed. Then Life Tested Everything I Believed | Lauren Burton | Her Side Of The Stories

Some of the roles we carry through life started so early that we don’t even question them anymore. We just think, this is who I am. I’m the calm one, the strong one, the one who keeps everything together. But sometimes that isn’t really who we are. It is who we learned to become. In this episode, I sit with Lauren Burton, an internationally accredited executive coach, business owner and mother, to talk about the patterns that begin in childhood and quietly follow us into adult life. We speak about people-pleasing, abandonment, numbing, overworking, the need to feel seen, and what happens when life tests everything you thought you understood about healing. Lauren also speaks about losing her daughter Jasmine during childbirth, and the long process of learning how love, grief and joy can all exist at the same time. This is a conversation about survival, identity and finding your way back to yourself.

I Learned To Read The Unseen | But I Still Struggled To Be Seen | Psychic Elaine Mary Collins | Her Side of the Stories

She could sense what others couldn’t and help thousands of people find answers. But behind the psychic gift was a woman who spent years hiding and struggling to see her own worth. In this episode, Asal sits with Elaine Mary Collins — an intuitive reader who began psychic development at fourteen and received her first tarot deck from her mother at fifteen. Elaine opens up about growing up around addiction, violence and instability, and how those early experiences shaped both her sensitivity and the protective patterns she carried into adulthood. They explore intuition, tarot, mediumship, spiritualism, self-worth, people-pleasing, emotional eating, boundaries and the responsibility that comes with guiding people when they are vulnerable. Elaine also explains what she senses during a reading, whether psychics are ever wrong, why some people want comfort more than truth and whether everyone has the ability to develop their intuition. At the end of the conversation, Asal experiences her first taste of a tarot reading — opening an unexpectedly personal conversation about adventure, betrayal, abandonment and the things we think we have already healed. Elaine Mary Collins is one of the world’s most trusted psychics, with clients ranging from celebrities and CEOs to politicians. For nearly 50 years, people have turned to her for guidance, clarity and insight. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side.

The Things She Couldn't Remember Changed Her Entire Life | Katelyn Means | Her Side of the Stories

What happens when parts of your childhood disappear from memory, but continue shaping your life anyway? In this episode, Dr. Katelyn Means shares her deeply personal journey through trauma, shame, survival, healing, and recovery. As a child, Katelyn experienced things no child should have to navigate. What followed were years of trying to make sense of feelings she couldn't fully explain, relationships that repeated familiar pain, struggles with anorexia, medication, perfectionism, and the belief that something was fundamentally wrong with her. Together, we explore the relationship with her father, the memories she carries, the ones she doesn't, and the impact those experiences had on every chapter that followed. We talk about shame, about survival mode, about trying to control a body when life feels uncontrollable, about why we repeat patterns and about the long journey from simply surviving to finally feeling safe. One thing she said stayed with me long after the cameras stopped rolling: "The absence of memory doesn't mean the absence of experience." This is a conversation about trauma. But even more than that, it's a conversation about hope. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side. ABOUT DR. KATELYN MEANS Dr. Katelyn Means is the creator of The Euphoria Effect, a framework exploring the connection between childhood experiences, trauma, healing, and human potential.

My Mother Couldn't Save Me | FGM Survivor At 5 | Model & Author Djabu Balde | Her Side of the Stories

When Model & Author Djabu Balde was five years old, she was subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM), which she nearly didn’t survive. She was born in a small village in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, and for most of her life she has carried this in silence, until now. In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, Djabu speaks publicly about her experience for the very first time. About her mother who tried to stop it from happening. About her father who didn’t show up to stop it. About the body she had to learn to live in again, the years of therapy, the fear of being touched, the slow, careful work of reclaiming her own sexuality. And the book she has written so that other girls do not have to live what she lived. This is a conversation about FGM — but it is also about a mother’s love that crossed an ocean. About migrating to a new country with nothing but a dream. About surviving an abusive home. About becoming a mother herself with an empty fridge and a one-year-old son. About forgiveness, about faith, and about a relentless amount of strength. Djabu is an actress, model, and now author. Her book is her offering to the millions of girls still subjected to this practice, one every twelve minutes, every day. This is Her Side of the Stories.   Her voice. Her truth. Her side.   FOLLOW DJABU BALDE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djabubalde_/ Book: https://www.amazon.es/Entre-dos-madres-Djabu-Balde-ebook/dp/B0H1QJS9LN   FOLLOW HER SIDE OF THE STORIES YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hersideofthestoriesofficial Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0NdDte4w6fgcuZZwZH1rpi?si=5u1ARRWURf2ynKa0n3Fe8g Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/her-side-of-the-stories/id1890695561 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hersideofthestories Website: www.hersideofthestories.com [http://www.hersideofthestories.com/]   FOLLOW ASAL ZARA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asal_zara__ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asal-zara-aa845766 #endfgm #fgmsurvivor #djabubalde #hersideofthestories #asalzara
