Episode 2 Part 3 Identity
from Talk Safe To Me Hosted by Ashley Kurysh
As we close out Part Two, we take the conversation a step further—building on Angie’s traumas, including MST —by featuring one of her friends in an interview. And honestly? This one is screaming my language. She speaks openly about surviving systemic injustice, personal trauma, domestic violence, and institutional failures—about what it feels like to question what’s wrong and be dismissed by the very systems meant to protect. Experiences like that don’t just hurt… they either break you or sharpen you. A U.S. Navy veteran, mother, entrepreneur, and community leader, her story makes one thing painfully clear: many people—especially women, veterans, seniors, and underserved communities—aren’t left vulnerable because they’re incapable, but because systems were never built with them in mind. So she did what thrivers do—she built purpose out of pain. This episode is a reminder that bad things have happened to good people—and that is not okay. Silence protects broken systems. Truth calls them out. And because this story doesn’t end here, we’ve invited her back on this same date one year from now for an anniversary episode—to check in, reflect, and see what growth, healing, and accountability look like in real time. Growth doesn’t happen in isolation, and neither does truth. So yes—you’re not a survivor, be a thriver. If you’ve ever felt unheard, overlooked, or told to stay quiet… this one is absolutely speaking your language. Thank you for being part of the "Talk Less Shit" Talk Safe To Me family.
