Bitch Is A Bad Word: A Domestic Violence Podcast on Healing and Empowerment
Bitch Is A Bad Word is a real, raw, and unapologetic domestic violence podcast that digs deep into healing, reclaiming power, and rewriting the rules after toxic relationships, domestic violence, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and financial abuse. Hosted by Lindsay, a mom of four with zero fancy letters behind her name, this show is a no-BS conversation about breaking free and finding your voice.
Each week, we bring in experts, survivors, and the real-life stories that break open the shame and stigma—because 1 in 3 women in the U.S. experience domestic violence, and these stories matter.
If you’re navigating your own journey, standing in solidarity with others, curious about how to help someone, or unsure if you’re in an abusive relationship, this is the show you need. This domestic abuse podcast is your space to heal, learn, and rise together.
Don’t miss our weekly Bitch Sesh, where we spill the tea, share survivor stories, and talk about the messy, beautiful process of taking our lives back—one story at a time.
Join the conversation. Share your story. Let’s break the cycle together.
Because bitch is a bad word when it’s used to tear you down — but if you’re in the Bestie Gang, being a bitch means you’re a baddie. We've got your back, Besties!
