A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP18: Elizabeth Mikotowicz on Trauma, Addiction & Fighting for Justice

Some stories reveal the painful realities hidden behind the systems we trust. In this powerful episode of A Superwoman Handbook, Gillian Utesch sits down with Elizabeth Mikotowicz, author of No Justice, Just Us, to discuss her journey through trauma, addiction, incarceration, healing, and becoming an advocate for change. Elizabeth shares her raw and deeply personal story of surviving domestic violence, a traumatic brain injury, opioid addiction, and a justice system that failed her in many ways. After finding herself trapped in cycles of trauma and hardship, she discovered healing through art, writing, and advocacy, transforming her experiences into a mission to protect and empower others. In this conversation, Elizabeth explores the challenges faced by survivors, the impact of systemic failures, and the importance of creating meaningful change for people who are often overlooked. She discusses her experiences with recovery, rebuilding her life after prison, and using her voice to advocate for reforms that bring more dignity, compassion, and accountability. Through her story, Elizabeth reminds us that survival is not the end of the journey—it can become the beginning of purpose. Her experiences highlight the power of resilience, the importance of support systems, and how one person’s courage can inspire change. This episode is for anyone interested in trauma recovery, justice reform, advocacy, or stories of transformation. Elizabeth’s journey is a powerful reminder that even after the darkest chapters, it is possible to rebuild, heal, and create a new path forward.   Connect with Elizabeth Mikotowicz: Book: https://books2read.com/NoJustice-JustUs Email: nojusticejustusepm@gmail.com   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #ElizabethMikotowicz #NoJusticeJustUs #traumarecovery  #survivorstory  #healingjourney  #justicereform  #resilience  #mentalhealthawareness  #womenempowerment  #personalgrowth  #podcast #viral #trending
