Let’s get one thing straight this isn’t just another story about surviving.

This is a story about choosing to rise differently with love, with grace, and with fire. Joni Woods came back into the studio just weeks before her book Burned, Blocked & Better Than Ever drops. But this conversation?

It went way beyond a book launch. Joni doesn’t just talk about resilience. She lives it.
From sleeping in her car after escaping a toxic marriage…
To raising her kids in the aftermath of generational trauma…
To surviving abuse, shame, religious judgment, betrayal, loss, and learning how to finally let go without losing herself...

This is the kind of episode that punches you in the chest, then wraps you in a hug.

We talk about:

• Why forgiveness isn’t weakness — it’s freedom
• How letting go of resentment can heal generations
• The pain of being misunderstood by the people closest to you
• Why your vulnerability is the real value of your story
• What it looks like to choose love when you’ve got every reason not to
• How to stop living on other people’s expectations — and finally be YOU

And yeah… we talk about the scars.
The ones you carry on your body.
The ones you explain to your kids.
The ones that shaped who you are. Because Joni didn’t just survive — she turned her story into a mission.

And she’s sharing it now so you don’t have to keep carrying yours alone.

This episode is for:
✅ The person who’s been told to tone it down, suck it up, or keep the peace
✅ The entrepreneur who’s stuck in relationships, routines, or roles that are killing their spirit
✅ The visionary who's been through the fire — and is ready to rise

This isn’t self-help fluff. This is a damn roadmap for how to be kind, real, and relentless in a world that keeps testing you.

Joni’s book Burned, Blocked, and Better Than Ever launches Oct. 7th. Pre-order it. Share it. Show up to her story.

Because she didn’t just write it for herself. She wrote it for all of us.

🎧 Let this episode be your reminder: you’re not broken — you’re becoming.
