I'm Deva Davisson, and I'm a trauma-informed coach and doctoral student in Psychology.

I started this podcast because I heard the same two things from my female clients over and over: "I want to be seen." "I want to be safe." As a former law enforcement officer and social worker, I know a little bit about being brave, and as a doctoral student in psychology, I understand the complexity of wanting to live your own life in the midst of oppressive societal systems and expectations.

Trying to stand up and use your voice to speak on your own behalf, and for those you love, can create enormous anxiety, much of it from traumatic experiences. I knew that I could create a podcast that would give women inspiration and support in their journey - like someone walking the path before you, or by your side.

These are both the stories that I wish I had when I was first finding my way, and also the conversations that keep me going now. Brave women. Real life.

I honestly can't imagine how I would have ever gotten this project off the ground without Alitu. I had NO IDEA how much work a podcast is and I had zero knowledge about the process. Alitu makes interviewing remote guests a breeze, putting a professional episode together within my reach, and the sound quality after the Alitu magic is great. I'm guessing using Alitu is saving me 1-2 hours per episode, if not more. Very happy customer!
