Unwritten with Steph
Life doesn’t always go as planned — but it’s never too late to begin again.
Unwritten with Steph is a podcast about reinvention, resilience, and the beauty of starting over. Each week, host Stephanie Shanks sits down for honest, heart-centered conversations with people who have faced life’s unexpected turns — and found their way back to themselves.
Through stories of transformation, courage, and self-discovery, Unwritten reminds us that our past doesn’t define us — it refines us. Whether you’re navigating midlife changes, rediscovering your purpose, or healing from the past, these raw and inspiring conversations will help you reconnect with your truth and remember: it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

The Things We Don't Talk About with Jessica Summers
In this deeply honest episode of Unwritten, I sit down with my friend Jessica Summers — an author, speaker, and coach who has turned her own pain into purpose.
We talk about the things most people avoid: shame, silence, trauma, and the stories we were told to hide. Jessica opens up about her journey through survival, healing, and reclaiming her voice after years of being told she was “too much.”
This conversation is real, emotional, and at times heavy — but it’s also filled with light. It’s about remembering that transformation doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from truth.
If you’ve ever carried pain quietly, questioned your worth, or wondered if you could ever start again, this one’s for you. Because healing begins the moment you decide to stop hiding.
⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussions of sexual trauma and violence. Please take care while listening.
