    "At First, You Feel Like You Have Failed." (The Story of Ibiza's Mayor)

    There are moments in life where everything changes at once. A relationship ends. Someone you love dies. Suddenly you're responsible for more than you ever imagined. And underneath it all, there's this quiet feeling that somehow... you've failed. That's where Carmen's story begins. In this conversation she shares what it was really like to come back to Ibiza with two little girls, lose her father, carry her family's business, and slowly rebuild a life she never planned. Carmen Ferrer Torres is one of Ibiza’s leading public figures, serving as mayor of Santa Eulària des Riu and helping shape the future of one of the island’s most important communities. If you've ever had to be strong before you were ready, I think this conversation will stay with you. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side.   🧡

    She Went Silent For A Year… Then Her Body Taught Her How To Live | Amber Joy Rava

    Amber Joy Rava was 16 when she stopped talking for almost a year, not because she had nothing to say, but because the world around her felt too loud and too far away from what was real. In this episode, Amber speaks about growing up in Brooklyn, feeling different from a young age, finding silence, learning to trust her body after a gymnastics accident, and later becoming a performer with Cirque du Soleil. But this conversation is really about the body, and what happens when we stop treating it as something to push through life and start listening to what it has been trying to tell us. We talk about shame, freedom, self-love, motherhood, birth, death, intuition, embodiment, and the strange quiet knowing that often comes before words. Amber Joy Rava is a Brooklyn-born performer, movement guide and transformation artist whose work has taken her from Cirque du Soleil to helping people reconnect with their bodies through movement and embodiment. This is a conversation about feeling different, coming back to yourself, and learning that sometimes the body knows before the mind does. This is her side of the stories. We have an incredible story weekly, stay close and subcribe to our channel. 🧡

    She Grew Up Fast, Then Built A Life She Could Be Proud Of | Samantha Francis Baker

    Samantha Francis Baker is a Dutch-born creative director and founder, now based in Dubai, and her work has shaped campaigns for some of the world’s most recognisable fashion houses, including Burberry, Louboutin and Fendi. But behind all of that beauty, there is a much quieter story.. A story she has never spoken about publicly before. A childhood with a lot of movement. Being separated from her mother. Growing up between homes. Watching her mother go through cancer. Losing her when she was only 17. In this episode, Samantha speaks about what those years felt like, and how they shaped the woman she became. We talk about grief, gaslighting, emotional abuse, creativity, and the quiet ways childhood can follow us into adulthood. But more than anything, this is a conversation about a woman who kept choosing life. And slowly, created one that finally felt like her own. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side. 🧡   #HerSideOfTheStories#SamanthaFrancisBaker#ChildhoodTrauma#InnerChild#EmotionalHealing

    I Looked Like I Had It All… But I Was Completely Lost Inside | Canay Atalay | Her Side Of The Stories

    Some women look like they have everything together. The career, the marriage, the children, the life that seems strong from the outside. But behind closed doors, they are quietly falling apart. Canay Atalay was successful, respected, married, a mother of two young girls, and leading in a world where people saw her as strong and capable. But at home, life looked completely different. She was living with a husband who was struggling with alcohol addiction, trying to protect her children, hiding what was really happening from almost everyone, and waking up every morning with what she describes as darkness. I think that is the part so many women will understand in some way. Not the exact story, maybe. But the feeling of holding a life together from the outside, while somewhere inside you know you are slowly disappearing. In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, I sit with Canay Atalay, founder of RegenerateX and curator of Heart Masters Ibiza. Through her work, she helps people and organisations create positive change through leadership, innovation and a more conscious way of looking at life. We talk about marriage, motherhood, addiction, shame, divorce, court battles, and the moment she looked in the mirror and no longer recognised herself. We talk about the pressure to look successful. The loneliness of hiding what is really going on. And the strange way we can keep functioning, keep working, keep mothering, keep smiling, while something inside us is completely exhausted. But this conversation is also about what happened after. How Canay moved from anger to peace. How she learned to listen differently. How she rebuilt her relationship with the father of her children. And how their divorce eventually became part of a legal shift in Turkey around common custody. 🧡

    Liv Nervo: I Thought I Found Safety. I Didn't Know I Was Living a Lie | Her Side of the Stories

    Millions know Liv Nervo as one half of the Grammy Award-winning DJ and songwriting duo NERVO. Few know that while she was six months pregnant, she discovered the man she thought she was building a family with already had another family. This conversation isn't about fame. It's about betrayal, identity, resilience, and learning to trust yourself again. Liv Nervo is one half of the Grammy Award-winning Australian DJ, producer and songwriting duo NERVO, which she formed with her twin sister Mim. Before becoming one of the world's most recognised female DJ duos, NERVO wrote and produced music for artists including David Guetta, Kelly Rowland, Kylie Minogue, Kesha, The Pussycat Dolls, Steve Aoki, Afrojack and Miley Cyrus. In this deeply honest conversation, Liv shares what happened after her world fell apart. She opens up about betrayal, depression, motherhood, healing and the impossible task of rebuilding her life while becoming a mother for the first time. Together, we explore why so many of us mistake familiarity for safety, how easy it is to ignore our intuition when we desperately want something to be true, and what it really takes to find yourself again after everything you believed had fallen apart. — FOLLOW LIV NERVO Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nervomusic/?hl=en FOLLOW HER SIDE OF THE STORIES YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hersideofthestoriesofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hersideofthestories Website: www.hersideofthestories.com FOLLOW ASAL ZARA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asal_zara__ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asal-zara-aa845766 Her Voice.

    I Thought I Had Healed. Then Life Tested Everything I Believed | Lauren Burton | Her Side Of The Stories

    Some of the roles we carry through life started so early that we don’t even question them anymore. We just think, this is who I am. I’m the calm one, the strong one, the one who keeps everything together. But sometimes that isn’t really who we are. It is who we learned to become. In this episode, I sit with Lauren Burton, an internationally accredited executive coach, business owner and mother, to talk about the patterns that begin in childhood and quietly follow us into adult life. We speak about people-pleasing, abandonment, numbing, overworking, the need to feel seen, and what happens when life tests everything you thought you understood about healing. Lauren also speaks about losing her daughter Jasmine during childbirth, and the long process of learning how love, grief and joy can all exist at the same time. This is a conversation about survival, identity and finding your way back to yourself.

    I Learned To Read The Unseen | But I Still Struggled To Be Seen | Psychic Elaine Mary Collins | Her Side of the Stories

    She could sense what others couldn’t and help thousands of people find answers. But behind the psychic gift was a woman who spent years hiding and struggling to see her own worth. In this episode, Asal sits with Elaine Mary Collins — an intuitive reader who began psychic development at fourteen and received her first tarot deck from her mother at fifteen. Elaine opens up about growing up around addiction, violence and instability, and how those early experiences shaped both her sensitivity and the protective patterns she carried into adulthood. They explore intuition, tarot, mediumship, spiritualism, self-worth, people-pleasing, emotional eating, boundaries and the responsibility that comes with guiding people when they are vulnerable. Elaine also explains what she senses during a reading, whether psychics are ever wrong, why some people want comfort more than truth and whether everyone has the ability to develop their intuition. At the end of the conversation, Asal experiences her first taste of a tarot reading — opening an unexpectedly personal conversation about adventure, betrayal, abandonment and the things we think we have already healed. Elaine Mary Collins is one of the world’s most trusted psychics, with clients ranging from celebrities and CEOs to politicians. For nearly 50 years, people have turned to her for guidance, clarity and insight. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side.
