Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast!
What happens when you stop waiting for validation and start giving yourself permission to grow, speak, and lead?
In this powerful episode of Today is the Day Changemakers, I sit down with book coach, author, permission expert, and visionary Kim O’Hara. From confronting the silence around sexual abuse to stepping into her truth as a bestselling author and extraordinary book coach, Kim shares her deeply personal journey of healing, self-actualization, and creative leadership.
We talk about:
- The real story behind writing No Longer Denying Sexual Abuse
- Becoming a single Mom and working at Trader Joe's
- Purchasing a home for the first time and how that changed her life
- How permission became the catalyst for her growth
- Why clarity and organization are non-negotiables for aspiring authors
- What it means to create impact-driven content in today’s world
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a writer, or someone standing at a crossroads, Kim’s insights will help you get honest with your story—and finally give yourself the green light to tell it.
