Verbally Vandalized: When the Job You Love Becomes the Abuse You Survive
Send us Fan Mail A lot of people can spot abuse at home, but freeze when it shows up at work wearing a badge, a title, or a “joking” tone. We’re talking about workforce abuse: the belittling, intimidation, sexual harassment, and power plays that make you dread your inbox, second-guess your talent, and feel trapped because you still have bills and people counting on you. We share personal stories and hard-earned patterns, from quid pro quo pressure to toxic hierarchy in fields like healthcare...

Vegetable Pizza Confessions And Real Talk
Send us Fan Mail Someone can be thriving and still need shower shoes. That one line opens a bigger truth we keep bumping into: when people judge a story from the outside, they miss the practical help that actually changes a life. We sit down for a raw, unscripted conversation about domestic violence shelters, what “support” looks like in real time, and why dignity often comes down to basics people never think to pack when they are escaping danger. From there, we go deeper into trauma, ...

Do Men Tinkle And Other Emergency Room Wisdom with Michael Solomon and Victoria Cuore
Send us Fan Mail The pain wasn’t normal, and pretending it was nearly cost Victoria her arm. We’re unpacking a late-night emergency room run after surgery when stitches that should have been routine turned out to be buried, insanely tight, and infected. We describe what it looked like to get them removed (yes, it was as intense as it sounds), why we trust body signals over guesswork, and how fast “I’ll wait one more day” can become a permanent problem. If you’ve ever downplayed symptoms, seco...

Stitches, Survival, And Smelling Coffee
Send us Fan Mail 170 stitches, a house that smells like freshly roasted coffee, and a conversation that swings from laugh-out-loud moments to the darkest corners of chronic pain and survival. We’re Michael and Victoria, and we show up unfiltered while Victoria recovers from a surgery that’s been harder to bounce back from than expected. That real-time recovery sets the tone for an honest talk about what patients go through when the system feels rushed, cold, or careless. We keep Domestic Vio...

We Learn How Lived Experience Turns Pain Into Practical Healing with Victoria Cuore and special guest Jessie Tylre Williams
Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of surviving trauma is not the headline event, it is what comes after: the disbelief, the systems that get it wrong, and the daily work of rebuilding a self you can actually live with. I’m joined by author and singer-songwriter Jesse Tyler Williams, who brings raw lived experience from childhood sexual trauma, domestic violence, and addiction, plus the hard-won clarity that comes from doing the work out loud. We talk about why peer-to-peer support can land d...

From Post Op Pain To Purposeful Impact with Victoria Cuore and Michael Solomon
Send us Fan Mail Over 130 surgeries will teach you who is solid and who is just loud. While Victoria recovers, we talk honestly about what healing looks like right after the hospital: the itching, the bigger-than-expected scar, and the weird contrast of being treated like royalty up front and then rushed through post-op when the ward is full. It is funny in places, raw in others, and grounded in the day-to-day reality of surviving and still showing up. From there, we get into something even ...

Life After Surgery And Life After Abuse
Send us Fan Mail They got her through surgery, but nobody talks enough about what happens right after the operating room when you’re still foggy, hurting, and being told to get dressed and get out. We’re Michael and Victoria, and we’re sharing the raw play-by-play of her latest arm surgery recovery, the nerve pain and swelling, and the frustrating moment we felt rushed out of post-op before her body had time to settle. From there, the conversation turns into the bigger story so many people l...

You Are Strong Enough To Leave Abuse Domestic Violence Awareness with Victoria Cuore
Send us Fan Mail One hit can flip your whole world, and the scariest part is how fast your brain tries to explain it away. We talk openly about domestic violence, coercive control, and the moment a relationship crosses a line that never should have existed. You’ll hear why denial is such a common first reaction, what “power and control” looks like in real life, and why an apology is often less about love and more about keeping you from leaving. We also get practical, because motivation witho...
