HOUSE OF H.E.R
Welcome to House of H.E.R. (Healed, Empowered, Rich) a space for women who have been through it… and are choosing themselves anyway.
This podcast is hosted by Hollie a mum, survivor of domestic abuse, late-diagnosed with ADHD, and a woman rebuilding her life from the inside out. House of H.E.R. is rooted in real experiences of domestic abuse trauma, healing, and starting again when everything you thought you were has fallen away.
Here we talk about emotional and domestic abuse, trauma bonding, ADHD, nervous system healing, self-worth, identity loss, motherhood, and the messy middle of becoming someone new. These are honest conversations for women who are tired of pretending they’re fine and ready to feel safe in themselves again.
This podcast is for the woman who is just coming out of survival mode. The woman who is exhausted, confused, grieving who she used to be, and questioning everything but still standing. If you’re learning how to feel again, how to trust yourself again, and how to exist without fear, this space was made for you.
You don’t need to be healed to be here. You don’t need the answers. You just need somewhere that understands what it costs to leave and what it takes to begin again.

In this episode, Hollie is back in the hot seat with Cassie for one of the most emotional and defining conversations yet as she shares the real story behind the launch of the House of H.E.R Hub and why this is so much more than just a platform. What started as a podcast rooted in healing, empowerment and sharing her journey has now evolved into something built for every woman, at every stage, whether you are questioning, stuck, planning to leave, in the middle of leaving, or trying to rebuild your life after. Hollie opens up about what she experienced when she left, the confusion, the trauma bond, the constant questioning of herself, the lack of understanding around why she still missed him and went back, and the overwhelming realisation that whilst awareness of domestic abuse is growing, there is still such a huge gap when it comes to the emotions women are left carrying after it ends. In this episode, they talk about coercive control, trauma bonding, PTSD, the fear that doesn’t just disappear, and the reality that leaving is often the most dangerous and confusing part. Hollie shares how she relied on Google at the time and how isolating and impersonal that felt, and why she became so passionate about creating something that feels relatable, accessible and safe, a place where women can understand what they are going through, learn the terminology they may have never heard before, access support, and feel less alone without judgment. They also talk about the responsibility that comes with sharing stories like this, the emotional weight of holding space for other women, and how turning pain into purpose has become part of Hollie’s healing journey too. This episode is honest, raw and hopeful, and marks the beginning of a new chapter for House of H.E.R as it moves into Heal. Escape. Rebuild. If you have ever felt stuck, confused, scared or like you are losing yourself in a relationship, this episode is for you.
