It forced her to confront a trauma she had carried for decades, something that had quietly shaped her life in ways she hadn’t fully understood.Kylie, one half of our hosting duo, had spent years building her life around work, family, and creativity, but underneath it all, something had been fractured. The pressures of motherhood, the loss of professional identity, and a lifetime of navigating power imbalances had created a silent storm.Then came a breaking point. A long-buried trauma collided with a national tragedy, shaking her sense of safety, justice, and agency. Kylie made a decision that risked re-traumatisation, family tension, and facing her deepest fears. A choice that would change everything.What followed was brutal, exhausting, and profoundly human. While navigating a complex legal system and confronting old wounds, she discovered a strength she hadn’t realised she had.This isn’t a story of neat closure or easy answers. It’s about rage, resilience, and reclaiming a voice that was once silenced. Through her writing, advocacy, and motherhood, Kylie is redefining what it means to stand up, speak out, and live boldly.For more information about Kylie, head to her website www.kylieorr.com, follow her on Instagram @kylieorr_writer or sign up to her monthly newsletter, If I'm Honest...⚠️ Our episodes contain conversations about difficult life experiences.
