    The Love Story That Almost Cost Me Myself | Carrie Mae Littlefield

    What happens when the person who says they love you is also the person making you lose yourself? From the outside, Carrie Littlefield seemed to have it all. A romantic relationship, a fresh start in Australia and a future full of possibilities. But behind closed doors, she was slowly losing her confidence, her voice and her sense of who she was. In this deeply honest episode of The Stories She Carries, Carrie opens up about the emotional and physical abuse she experienced, the moment she began to recognise the truth, and why leaving wasn't the end of her healing journey. We talk about the invisible scars that remain after an abusive relationship, the friendships that helped her rebuild, the power of therapy and what it means to finally feel safe in your own life. Carrie also shares how rediscovering herself led her back to a childhood passion for writing and inspired her debut fantasy novel, A Veil of Ash and Gold, expected to be released in early 2027. At its heart is a story of female friendships, found family and the many forms love can take. This isn't just a story about leaving. It's about finding your voice again, learning to trust yourself and realising that losing yourself doesn't mean you're lost forever.

    From Bollywood to Starting Over: Finding My Own Spotlight Again | Ananya Anand Frey

    From Bollywood to Starting Over: Losing My Identity and Finding My Own Spotlight Again What happens when you leave behind a life where you helped others shine, only to find yourself struggling to recognise the woman you've become? Ananya Anand Frey had built a dream career in Bollywood, managing celebrities and making her mark in the glamorous world of entertainment publicity. Then love changed everything. A move to Australia promised a beautiful new beginning. But instead of red carpets and celebrity management, Ananya found herself working in commercial kitchens, starting over in a country where nobody knew the woman she had once been. Behind the excitement of a new love was a woman quietly grieving the career, confidence and identity she'd spent years building. And then one comment in the kitchen brought everything she'd been carrying to the surface. But Ananya's story doesn't end there. Today, she's reclaimed her spotlight, building her own PR and communications business in Melbourne. From managing the spotlight for Bollywood celebrities to creating her own platform as an entrepreneur, Ananya has turned her experiences into a new chapter of ambition, creativity and purpose. In this episode of The Stories She Carries, Ananya joins Charu Moorjani for a powerful conversation about love, identity, migration, the invisible grief of starting over and finding the courage to redefine success. Because sometimes, starting over isn't about getting your old life back. It's about discovering how much of yourself you carried forward. THE STORIES SHE CARRIES Real women. Honest conversations.
