In this episode, we explore an incredible story of resilience and justice as one woman takes on a system that failed to protect her children. What began as an escape from a toxic marriage led to an unimaginable fight for safety and accountability—a battle that pushed her to her limits and revealed the cracks in the very system meant to serve justice.

Through courage, faith, and determination, she not only found a way to rebuild her life but also uncovered the strength to help her children heal. This is a story of heartbreak, hope, and triumph that challenges us to rethink what it means to fight for truth and freedom.

VICTORIA ELLEN

Victoria Ellen looks the part of a successful career woman. But she has led a life that is even more intense than her striking blue eyes seem to suggest. Behind the scenes, she spent more than a decade relentlessly pursuing justice for her children—a battle that led to the Ohio Supreme Court and beyond. She started out as a divorced single mother, struggling to get by after escaping a toxic marriage. She and her children spent years in therapy to overcome the trauma they endured.

After traveling that bumpy road, Victoria became an award-winning businesswoman, a happily married wife, and the proud mother of two thriving college students. Now, she and her family are candidly and courageously disclosing their transformative tale. It’s a story that exposes how the justice system, which was designed to help people, can ironically be manipulated to silence the cries of victims.

Victoria was devoted to being the voice of her children when they were too young to speak for themselves. Even when they were older, the children felt that the court system disregarded their rights—and, incredulously, their mother was sentenced to jail for passionately advocating on their behalf. Through it all, Victoria relied on her faith, intelligence, and raw determination— and now basks in victory on every level. She has found true love. She has found happiness and success. She has found her destiny. And she hopes that, by sharing her story, she can help you to do the same.
