She Is Seen
The Council Of She Project
Where the beautiful meets broken within us all. The Chamber Of She project brings you unpolished, messy chats with a collective of humans as we share our perspectives and truths with you. Shining a light into the spaces we often shy away from to lighten the shame load that too many of us carry.
You can expect to hear imperfect, raw stories that are incredibly authentic, questionable opinions, the owning of mistakes, occasional disagreements and plenty of inappropriate humour.
She Is Seen the Podcast isn’t about sugar coating and glossing over lived experiences. It’s about speaking into the uncomfortable, outrageous, good, wrong, right, inspiring and at times the heartbreaking realities of life.
We hope to offer you solace, hope and the change to cry - no guarantees whether that’ll be crying induced from laughing or from a heartbreaking truth come and listen and let’s see where this goes.
Founded by author, artist and photographer Libby Tozer in 2017, She Is Seen is a Not For Profit based on Ramindjeri Ruwi on Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia.

**Trigger warning: this episode talks graphically about abortion**
In this episode of She Is Seen, host Libby Tozer chats with Cara Baxmac about the taboo topic of abortion. It is by having conversations like this that we move the stigma and the shame associated with choosing it and also holding the complicated and conflicting emotions that come up after.
In this episode you'll learn about:
- why the experience shook Cara up so much even though she has healing tools and techniques to fall back on
- what to do with the debilitating emotions like resentment and anger
- what the process was like mentally and physically for Cara start to finish
- how Cara utilised certain therapies to help her heal the trauma
- why providing a safe space full of compassion and warmth is important for women going through something similar... and so much more!
