Samantha Gibson: Coercive Control, Court Reform, and the Courage to Change a Broken System

Join Leslie Gaudet and Samantha Gibson, trauma-informed leadership consultant, Certified Trauma Recovery Specialist, author, and founder of Brave Strategy Co., for an honest and deeply moving conversation about what it truly takes to protect your mental and emotional peace when life has asked more of you than most people will ever understand. Samantha's story is extraordinary. As a survivor of coercive control, a mother of five, and a woman who spent over two decades leading at the highest levels of corporate operations, she knows firsthand what it costs to hold everything together on the outside while something essential is quietly falling apart within. Today she has turned that lived experience into a mission — bringing trauma-informed leadership into organizations, advocating for family court reform, and helping others build the kind of emotional resilience that doesn’t just survive hard seasons but grows through them. If you’ve ever told yourself that what you’re feeling isn’t serious enough to speak up about — this conversation is going to change the way you think about that. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ***************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation. We have already held our first gathering and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. If you want to join us for the next one, send me an email with the words "I'm in for Monthly Gathering" and I will make sure you are on the list.
