  • She Wasn’t a Stranger. She Wanted My Life: A Stalking Survival Story Part 1 | Charleston Chicks Ep 8
    2026/01/21

    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.

    Viewer discretion advised. This episode contains mature themes and language.

    2026/01/14

    Fear shows up for a reason and it does not mean you are doing something wrong.

    In this episode of Charleston Chicks, Lisa Nicole, Jen, and Melanie unpack what it really means to overcome fear and why learning to work with fear is often more powerful than trying to eliminate it.

    The episode covers how fear and excitement live side by side, why preparation matters, how delaying action feeds fear, and how stepping into discomfort builds confidence. You will hear practical tools, real stories, and mindset shifts that help women move forward even when fear is present.

    If you are feeling stuck, hesitant, or holding back from your next step, this episode will help you reframe fear and take action anyway.
