“You don’t need life to give you a reason to change. You just need to want better.”

In this episode of Whispers in the Wind, we hear the powerful story of Faith — a woman who entered marriage with hope, only to find herself trapped in a cycle of emotional and physical abuse. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of happiness.

Faith takes us through the shadows of her past: a childhood that mirrored Cinderella’s, a marriage that turned into a nightmare, and the long journey of rebuilding her life. Through bruises, blades, and heartbreak, she found the strength to run — not just from danger, but toward the life she truly deserved.

This episode is about more than pain. It’s about fighting back. It’s about realising you’re worth more than what you’ve been through. And it’s about never waiting for someone else to save you when you can choose yourself.

Whether you’ve been through something similar or want to understand the silent battles people fight every day, Faith’s story will leave you moved, shaken, and empowered.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence and abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
