Trail Blazers & Chain Breakers
Insights and interviews to help you blaze your own trail through a world designed for conformity, and to break the chains holding you back from living an uncommon life. From gender roles and family conditioning, to societal expectations and self-sabotage, there are many more chains holding you back than you may realize. These chains affect many areas of our lives, including our Relationships, Parenting, Health, Spirituality, and Healing. Welcome to Trail Blazers and Chain Breakers, where we are focused on breaking free from "normal" and living an uncommon life.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
