Using Social Media for Good: Creating Actual Change for Domestic Abuse Survivors with Chelsey De Groot (PART 2)
from Detached
What happens when you stop letting fear cripple you and open up about everything you’ve endured? Chances are you’re going to create more change than staying silent. Join us for Part 2 of my powerful interview with Advocate and Leadership Coach, Chelsey De Groot in our Landon Hail Press Author Community. In this episode, I’m joined by Chelsey and members of our author community for a deeply impactful conversation about courage, visibility, and what happens in real life when we let our real lives shape the stories we tell - even if we only have a few hundred social media followers. We talk about sharing sensitive content, building genuine connections instead of chasing viral trends, and why the right message reaching one person can matter more than thousands of views. We also explore identity, advocacy, discomfort, and the choice to keep showing up even when being seen feels terrifying. Highlights:(03:37) - How one judge’s response showed Chelsey that her story could create real change(09:18) - Why the most powerful content often comes directly from the life you’re already living(11:50) - The unexpected conversation with a police officer that proved one post can have massive impact(19:30) - How manufacturing content often means you’re holding back in your real life (23:22) - What actually changes when you finally decide your voice deserves to be heard(31:26) - Owning your story without shrinking, apologizing, or waiting for the perfect momentAdditional links:Visit Chelsey’s website for Support & Leadership Resources: rootsandrisecc.comFollow Chelsey on Instagram for her “Dear Officer” series and more!Resources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
