In this episode of The She Means Business Show, host Ashley Holt sits down with Kim Witczak—global drug safety advocate, speaker, and marketing/advertising professional—who turned unimaginable tragedy into a movement for change.

After the sudden death of her husband from a Zoloft-induced suicide, Kim co-founded Woodymatters and was instrumental in securing FDA black box suicide warnings on antidepressants. For more than 20 years, she has challenged the FDA and Big Pharma, serving as the Consumer Representative on the FDA Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee. But Kim’s greatest transformation came within—choosing to walk through pain, find her voice, and inspire others to do the same.
In this episode, we cover:
• Kim’s journey from personal tragedy to becoming a global voice in drug safety
• The fight against Big Pharma and the lawsuit that revealed hidden truths
• Why your voice matters—how one voice can start a movement
• The F.I.R.E. Method (Faith, Intuition, Resilience, Energy) for turning pain into power
• Kim’s upcoming book and film project, Woody, bringing her story to the world
Her story reminds us: we don’t often choose what happens externally, but we always choose how we respond, rise, and show up.
