Blood, Baths & Broths: How I Turned Survival Into Soup

I survived sexual violence and a marriage that broke me.

I built a career caring for women while quietly saving my own life.

I come from religious control and deep relational rupture.

I turned that pain into a life of feeding, holding, and healing women.

I turned trauma into ritual, survival into ceremony, and silence into sacred voice.

I learned how to survive very dark, horrible places.
Now I am learning how to feel safe inside my own body.

I built a life around keeping everyone else alive while I was bleeding out. A life I had to escape from.

Now I refuse to die quietly and I’m building a future that holds me first.

THE PAIN IS HEALING ME
THE HEALING IS KILLING ME

a very silent scream
horrifyingly relatable
subtle malaise of a housewife
prisoner in my own home
preyed upon in my bed, shower, kitchen
christian wife killer prescription
primal screams
unearthly roars
predator and prey
invisible scars
uncontrollable gags
a tidal wave of tears
sexual assault
devoured, consumed, destroyed
stripped of sweetness
dead girl walking
leave it all? or go make dinner…
champagne, psilocybin, SSRIs, va**ng into the void
i want to die
but every morning i rise
i stand
i light a candle
surrounded by the ghosts of a million women
whispering
eerily guiding me
do it for you, Sarah
do it for us all
you’re going to be okay
i barely believe them
but i must
continue to claw
scrape and survive
flowers, herbs, water, salt, and oil become my comforts
seeking safety within my own skin
you must feel something
you must live
you must run from this place
fly free
dance into the sea of wildflowers
away from the wolves
into unfamiliar heavens, forests, oceans
a golden light
a warmth
a hum
shhh
shhhhh
hush little baby
don’t say a word
mommy’s here

Our story is many women’s story. It’s about resilience, grit, hard work, and the relentless pursuit of growth and reinvention. We’ve faced painful struggles but emerged stronger.

Through healing, and self-discovery, we've reclaimed our ancestral roots and embraced our true selves.

Discovering our power and using our voices to speak the truth.
Our transformation is not just ours, it’s a call for every woman to rise.

This is just the beginning of a bigger conversation. If something in this podcast interview resonates with you, please reach out.

Time moves differently during the postpartum phase. A new mother is no longer confined by the “normal” operating hours of life.

Postpartum is no time to stick to the routine of “lunch” and “dinner.” Food is food, and a recovering mother’s needs may come at any time of day. Stew for breakfast is completely acceptable. Frittata for lunch, chia pudding for dessert, date truffles in the middle of the night. Any food, any time!

$49/hr + grocery cost
