Hosted by Tonya GJ Prince, veteran advocate, writer, and founder of We Survive Abuse, this podcast speaks to those whose truths were dismissed, minimized, mistranslated, or never properly listened to—across languages, cultures, ages, abilities, belief systems, and life circumstances.

This is not a podcast built on spectacle or outrage.
It is a space for recognition, clarity, and grounded truth-telling.

Each episode draws from lived experience, history, cultural awareness, and deep listening to explore how people become unheard—and what it takes to reclaim voice, safety, and self-trust without being forced into performance, forgiveness, or false unity.

You’ll hear conversations about:

How harm is hidden by language, power, and social comfort
Why being unheard is often more damaging than the original injury
The quiet intelligence Survivors develop when no one is listening
Safety, boundaries, and dignity in families, institutions, and communities
Human connection across language and cultural barriers
Healing that honors reality instead of rewriting it

This podcast is for:

Survivors who were never given the right words—or the right witnesses
People whose experiences didn’t fit the story others wanted to tell
Advocates and professionals who want to listen better, not louder
Anyone committed to protecting the vulnerable without erasing complexity

Tonya does not claim to speak for everyone.
She listens across difference and speaks from experience.

If you are looking for conversations that respect your intelligence, honor your humanity, and refuse to simplify harm for comfort—this podcast was made with you in mind.
