From Survival to Service: Building Scarred Not Silent
In this episode of Scarred Not Silent, the conversation moves beyond survival and into what comes next.
ChatGPT interviews me on Sections 5 and 6 of my journey, where we explore the creation of the Scarred Not Silent podcast and the deeper legacy behind it. We talk about why I chose to speak publicly, how storytelling became a form of service, and what it means to build something rooted in lived experience rather than performance.
I reflect on the responsibility that comes with having a voice, the shift from personal healing to collective impact, and why everyday stories deserve space alongside expert voices. This episode also centers on legacy. Not in terms of fame, but in the quiet work of leaving truth behind for those still finding their footing.
This is a conversation about purpose after pain, leadership after loss, and choosing to be heard without needing permission.
If you are rebuilding, redefining success, or wondering how your story fits into a larger picture, this episode offers perspective, grounding, and forward momentum.
