Is Anybody Out There?

This week on Is Anybody Out There?, we’re joined by Delmaire Holloway—an avid volunteer, devoted churchgoer, and an all-around positive force in her community!

This week on Is Anybody Out There?, we’re joined by Ten Smith, who bravely shares both her story and her music. Ten opens up about the abuse she endured and the difficult realization that staying silent about her experience may have contributed to another woman nearly losing her life. It was a powerful news story within the music business that ultimately changed everything for Ten and inspired her to use her music as a voice—not just for herself, but for others who may be suffering (in silence or otherwise). Her story is a powerful reminder that speaking up can save lives, and that sometimes our pain can become a source of strength and hope for someone else, figuratively AND literally. Tune in this week to hear Ten’s story, experience her music, and learn why she decided that silence was no longer an option.

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, Patti and Andrea sit down with Chris, the first male survivor to share his story on the podcast. Chris shines a powerful light on a form of domestic violence that often goes unnoticed, unnamed, and unvalidated: psychological abuse. As someone whose life revolves around logic, precision, and clarity, Chris never expected to find himself unraveling under the weight of manipulation, isolation, and emotional control—abuse that left no visible bruises, but caused deep and lasting wounds. In this powerful conversation, Chris opens up about how the abuse began, how it slowly eroded his confidence, and the moment he realized that what he was experiencing was abuse. He also discusses the unique challenges men can face when seeking help, the difficult journey of rebuilding self-trust after emotional manipulation, and how he transformed his own pain into purpose through advocacy. This episode is a reminder that abuse is abuse, whether or not it leaves scars. And men, too, deserve to be heard, believed, supported, and safe.

In this insightful and deeply grounding episode of Is Anybody Out There?, hosts Patti Collins and Andrea sit down with renowned trauma-informed counselor Dr. La Guardia to explore one of the least understood — but most life-changing — aspects of domestic violence: what it does to the mind. Domestic violence is not only physical. It rewires the brain. It impacts identity. It reshapes how survivors see themselves, trust themselves, and connect with others long after the abuse ends. Dr. La Guardia walks us through the emotional and psychological effects of trauma — from confusion and numbness, to shame, self-blame, and the loss of identity many survivors silently carry. She breaks down the science of trauma, the emotional fallout of coercive control, and the healing that becomes possible when survivors finally have compassion-centered, collaborative care. If you’ve ever asked yourself: “Why didn’t I leave sooner?” “Why do I still feel broken?” “Why can’t I trust myself?” “What’s wrong with me?” This episode gives you answers — and more importantly, a path forward. We also talk about what communities, counselors, churches, and loved ones must do differently to support survivors’ emotional recovery. Not with judgment. Not with pressure. But with understanding, patience, and trauma-informed love. If you’re carrying invisible wounds… if you’re trying to reclaim the parts of yourself that were dimmed or distorted by abuse… this episode offers language, validation, and hope. You deserve peace. You deserve healing. You deserve yourself again.

In this deeply personal and courage-filled episode of Is Anybody Out There?, hosts Patti Collins and Andrea Langfield sit down with Teresa to explore what healing after abuse truly looks like — the emotional unraveling, the rebuilding, the moments of clarity, and the quiet bravery it takes to choose yourself again. Teresa opens up about the early signs of emotional abuse, including name-calling, intimidation, and the unpredictable cycles of someone struggling with alcoholism. She shares what it felt like to navigate a relationship where apologies sometimes came through money, but real change never followed. Through counseling, she began to understand emotional unavailability and the impact it had on her self-worth — and how reclaiming her power meant finally choosing peace over chaos. Her story is one of honesty, tenderness, and triumph. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t just about leaving — it’s about learning, growing, and rediscovering the parts of yourself that were silenced.   Music Guest: Honour Rae “Is Anybody Out There?” is a powerful and heartfelt podcast co-hosted by Patti Collins and Andrea Langefield, empowered by Women Helping Women.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Is Anybody Out There? Erika Sussman, the visionary founder of the Center for Survivor Agency and Justice (CSAJ). Through her work as an attorney and national advocate, Erika has seen firsthand that there is no safety without economic security — and that financial abuse is one of the most overlooked yet devastating forms of domestic violence. Erika shares the stories that shaped her mission: Barbara, a teenage immigrant survivor who had a protection order but no resources to survive on her own, and Nasratu, who discovered more than $30,000 in coerced debt she never knew existed. These cases revealed a truth many survivors know too well: without financial stability, leaving can be impossible — and rebuilding can feel out of reach. Together, Patti, Andrea, and Erika explore how economic abuse traps survivors long after the relationship ends, how coerced debt destroys futures, and why 2025 is a crisis moment as funding cuts leave survivors with fewer options than ever. Erika also explains how CSAJ is fighting back through legal training, policy reform, survivor leadership, and national advocacy.

This week we sit down with Myra Washington, the soulful artist behind the show’s theme song — created in collaboration with the legendary Bootsy Collins. Inspired by Patti’s survival story, “Is Anybody Out There?” has become more than a song — it’s an anthem of hope for women who feel unheard, unseen, or alone in their journey through domestic violence. Although Myra has not personally experienced abuse, she has devoted herself to using her voice as a form of advocacy, healing, and truth. She shares why she believes music can open hearts, spark awareness, and push conversations forward — especially in communities where silence has been the norm for far too long. Together, they explore how art can become a lifeline, how sound can restore the spirit, and why it matters when artists take a stand for survivors.

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, we introduce our co-host Andrea Langefeld, and we’re having an important conversation about how domestic violence affects children—and, most importantly, what kids need to heal and move forward.   The impact of domestic violence can reach far beyond the immediate situation, and children often carry those experiences with them in ways we may not always recognize. If you’ve been through something like this, or you see yourself in this conversation, please give yourself some grace. You’re doing a good job. ❤️ Join us for this important and heartfelt conversation with Andrea Langefeld.     “Is Anybody Out There?” is a powerful and heartfelt podcast co-hosted by Patti Collins and Andrea Langefeld, empowered by Women Helping Women.
