🎙️ Surviving, Rebuilding & Speaking Up: A Story of Resilience with Casey Russo, Part 2
*Trigger Warning* In this episode, we discuss domestic abuse and suicide. If your heart cannot handle these topics right now, we will be back soon with a different topic. Please take good care of you! 🤍
We open with real talk on women’s health, perimenopause, hormone swings, and advocating for yourself when something feels off. From there, we step into a powerful conversation about resilience, identity, and rebuilding after trauma.
We sit down with Casey Russo, VP and Director of Operations in her family’s business, creative professional, and co-creator of Moms Against Mommin, to talk about what it really looks like to leave a toxic relationship and rebuild your life from the ground up.
Casey shares her experience navigating a long-term marriage marked by hidden abuse, the moment everything shifted, and the aftermath that followed. From uncovering financial challenges to protecting her daughter, starting over, and reclaiming her confidence, this is a story of strength, courage, and using your voice to help other women feel less alone.
This conversation is a reminder for women, moms, and high-achieving professionals that you can rebuild, redefine, and rise—even after the hardest seasons.
