About this listen

Follow the author's true and heart-wrenching story as she writes about her domestic violence experiences from a few years ago to heal from the secondary trauma of not being believed. It's a story about a mother with two babies fighting to protect herself and her children from psychological abuse during COVID on a remote island.

In this raw and unflinching memoir, Juanelle courageously breaks years of enforced silence to share her journey from survivor to advocate. When domestic violence tore apart her family during the pandemic lockdown in Thailand, she faced something almost as traumatic as the original abuse: gaslighting that made her question her own reality and pressure to stay quiet to protect everyone else's comfort.

"Did it really happen? Was I being dramatic?" For years, she dealt with intrusive thoughts and feelings of confusion and betrayal. Silence wasn't protecting anyone—it was eating away at her authenticity. Writing became her lifeline, forcing her to trust her perceptions again. Through vulnerable storytelling, she transformed shame into voice, releasing hidden resentment and allowing herself to heal.

Finding My Voice is more than a survival story—it's a roadmap for recognising the signs of psychological abuse, understanding your legal rights, a wake-up call and proof that speaking your truth, no matter how difficult, is the path to authentic healing and lasting change.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok to remote islands, expat women face unique vulnerabilities that few understand. Juanelle's story exposes the hidden patterns that put women at risk and reveals how knowledge, boundaries, and self-advocacy can save lives.

Because ultimately, your safety and healing matter more than anyone else's comfort. Your life—or someone you care about—might depend on it.

What struck me most was the emotional depth. This isn’t just about what happened; it’s about the after. The doubt. The gaslighting. The trauma of not being believed. Her narration makes it feel even more personal, like a close friend is confiding in you. It’s painful, yes but powerful. And deeply necessary. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or dismissed. This book will hit home. It’s not an easy listen, but it’s a courageous one—and it just might help someone else find their voice too.

Her strength isn’t loud, but it’s obvious. The way she walked through her past showed that she’d done a lot of processing. You don’t have to relate to everything she says to respect it. I finished it in one go and sat quietly for a while after. It hit me in a quiet, deep way.

Strong in her own way
