In Part 2 of this Charleston Chicks series, co-host Lisa Nicole and her children made the courageous decision to rebuild their lives 3,000 miles from home — leaving behind familiar places, close friends, and family in order to find safety and begin again.

Part 2 also reveals how Lisa Nicole courageously stepped forward to share her personal story of being stalked — for awareness, healing, and hope.

In Part 1 of this deeply personal Charleston Chicks episode, we open the door to a story where fear and uncertainty collide with a terrifying truth that can’t be ignored.

What began as an unexpected knock on the door in August 2014, quickly turned into a horrifying realization. A woman I had never met knew intimate details about my life, my marriage, and my children. What followed was the beginning of a stalking case that would last years and expose devastating gaps in the system meant to protect victims.

This episode delves into the moment it began - the shock, the disbelief and the chilling reality that followed.

January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and this conversation confronts hidden danger, shatters stigma, and reminds victims they are not alone.
