In the quiet, rural landscapes of West Virginia, a voice was born from the echoes of silence and the depths of emotional pain. My name is Jordan Murphy, founder of the Her Voice Matters Podcast—a five-star podcast on Spotify dedicated to empowering abuse survivors and providing a safe platform for women to reclaim their voices. Growing up, the challenges I faced and the traumas I endured shaped my mission.
I grew up in a small town in West Virginia, experiencing the nightmare of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse in various relationships. My divorce was the turning point where I realized the profound loneliness of being with someone who makes you feel more isolated than when you are single. These experiences sparked my awareness of the toll emotional abuse takes on mental and physical well-being. I came across a startling news article claiming that being in a relationship that makes you feel alone is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. This realization was my call to action. Starting Her Voice Matters Podcast was more than a professional endeavor for me; it was a personal mission to turn my pain into purpose and to help other women do the same.
Gaslighting, a term that has gained considerable attention in discussions about emotional abuse, is a form of manipulation where the abuser makes the victim doubt their own reality. This tactic is particularly insidious because it erodes trust and self-esteem over time. On Her Voice Matters Podcast, we delve deep into the nuances of gaslighting, sharing expert interviews and survivor stories that illuminate this often-misunderstood topic.
Emotional abuse leaves scars that are not visible to the naked eye but are deeply felt by the heart and soul. Through personal anecdotes and expert advice, Her Voice Matters Podcast provides valuable insights into recognizing the signs of emotional abuse and understanding its long-term psychological impacts. Our episodes offer a compassionate space where survivors can find solace and strategies for overcoming their trauma.
Love bombing is another manipulative tactic frequently discussed on Her Voice Matters. It involves excessive affection and attention from the abuser to swiftly gain the victim's trust and affection. This behavior is often a precursor to a cycle of emotional abuse, creating a confusing and tumultuous relationship dynamic. Understanding love bombing is crucial for recognizing toxic relationships and stepping out of them.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy for others. This disorder is frequently at the root of abusive behaviors in relationships. On Her Voice Matters, we explore the traits of narcissistic personalities and provide listeners with the tools to identify and navigate interactions with narcissists. By educating our audience, we empower them to make informed decisions about their relationships.
The silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse where the abuser withholds communication to punish or control the victim. This tactic can be incredibly damaging, leading to feelings of isolation and self-doubt.

Our podcast episodes foster a sense of community and support, reminding survivors that they are not alone.
