This isn’t a story about revenge. It’s a story about revelation. In this unflinching episode, Rebecca Raven speaks the truth her family tried to bury––about silence, control, and what it means to finally stop protecting the people who erased you.

Layered with haunting music, clarity, and fire, this episode is a reckoning. Not just for one man, but for anyone who let silence pass for peace.

Because now… he knows.
And the silence is over.

In this soul-lit episode, I share the origin of my trail name and the deeper meaning behind it. A reflection on identity, solitude, belonging, and the wild power of naming yourself when the world never quite saw you clearly. For anyone who’s ever wandered, howled quietly, or felt more at home beneath the moon.

Before there was peace, there was fire. In this episode, I take you back to the moments that scorched, the silence that cut, and the truth I could no longer swallow. This isn’t about revenge. It’s about voice. It’s about clarity. And it’s for anyone who’s ever been cast out, not for doing harm, but for shining too brightly for someone else’s control.

If you’ve ever felt erased by the people you loved most... this is your episode.

When the fire is finally out, what’s left behind?

In this short but powerful episode, I speak from the stillness that came after the storm—after the spirals, the ache, the silence. This is what it feels like to no longer be haunted. This is what healing sounds like.

Welcome to The After.

But sometimes, the first take is the truest—raw, real, spoken straight from the fire.

In this opening episode of Lead from the Fire, I share the story that changed everything. A story about being erased. About what it means to grieve the living. About choosing yourself when the people you loved stopped choosing you.

This isn’t a story of revenge. It’s a story of return.

I’m Rebecca Raven. And this is the fire I rose from.
