One Big Darkroom
Stories of trauma, healing, survival, and finding your way home
I’m Juniper-Quinn. I’ve lived through the dark—and now I’m dragging it into the light.
My Big Darkroom is a space where safety isn’t just a concept—it’s a way of surviving, healing, and reclaiming your life. Out of trauma came truth. Out of silence came stories. That’s how this podcast began. While I can’t share all of the details yet, what I can share is the path forward: the messy, honest, sometimes funny, sometimes heavy journey of rebuilding. It’s the raw stuff: trauma, healing, solo travel, gut instincts, messy love stories, and the grief we don’t post about. We unpack what it means to find safety again, to trust yourself again, to live through truth instead of hiding from it.
You’ll hear my story. You’ll hear others’. And maybe, you’ll hear pieces of your own. This is where the quiet parts of life finally get to speak out loud. If you’re ready to hear them, I’m ready to share.
One Big Darkroom
Because of You
In this episode of One Big Darkroom, Juniper-Quinn explores the fine line between obsession and love, and why dark romance stories like Haunting Adeline and the Netflix series You spark both fascination and controversy. We’ll unpack how fiction twists danger into desire, and why those same patterns become terrifying when they spill into real life.
You’ll also hear the harrowing true story of Samantha Stites, the subject of Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror, and how her case exposes the cracks in our justice system. From romanticized villains to real-world consequences, this episode is about fantasy, reality, and what happens when obsession is mistaken for love.
We’ll close with a look at the justice system itself and what victims actually face when they turn to the courts. We'll also reflect on the importance of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
