Diahnna Nicole Baxter on Storytelling, Trauma, and Empowering Voices
I think, especially in the western world, there is this obsession with violence, and especially violence with women.
What happens when trauma becomes a catalyst for powerful storytelling? In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', Lee Davy chats with Diahnna Nicole Baxter, a director, actress, and producer who has turned her personal struggles into compelling narratives. Diahnna, co-creator of the Emmy-winning web series SATACRACY 88, opens up about her journey in the entertainment industry and her mission to address trauma through 'ruthless storytelling'.
She also shares her experiences with Cowboy's Girl, a short film that has made waves at several international film festivals. Beyond her work in film and television, Diahnna is a Transformational Life Coach and Kundalini Yoga teacher, advocating for the holistic transformation of mind, body, and spirit. The conversation touches on toxic masculinity, the decline of goddess culture, and the importance of holding predators accountable.
Diahnna also discusses the significance of empowering children to make their own choices and reflects on her personal experiences with family trauma and toxic relationships. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the healing power of storytelling and the importance of amplifying marginalized voices.
