After more than 30 years of marriage, Britta Tabor found herself facing a reality she never expected — life after divorce.

In this honest and empowering episode of the Break Phree Podcast, Britta opens up about the pain of losing the life she built, the identity she had wrapped in marriage, and the courage it took to rediscover who she was outside of it.

Together, we talk about heartbreak, healing, faith, and the powerful journey of becoming yourself again.

This episode is for every woman who has ever wondered if it’s too late to start over — and the truth is, it isn’t.

Sometimes the end of one life is the beginning of finally meeting the woman you were always meant to be.

For years, people have heard my story — the mistakes, the prison sentence, and the redemption that followed.

But today, we tell the story that is rarely heard.

The story of the mother.

In this deeply personal episode of the Break Phree Podcast, I sit down with the woman who stood by me during the darkest chapter of my life — my mother. While I served time behind bars, she carried a different kind of sentence: the pain, the shame, the judgment, and the prayers of a mother loving her child through incarceration.

This conversation is for every mother who has cried in silence, walked through prison doors, and held onto faith when the world said to let go.

Because sometimes the strongest person in the story… is the one waiting on the other side of the prison gate.

Four years ago, Paulette Smith came home to every parent’s worst nightmare. Her 22-year-old son was shot and killed — and to this day, she still doesn’t know who took his life. In this heartbreaking yet courageous conversation, Paulette opens up about living with unanswered questions, surviving grief without closure, and what it means to wake up every day carrying a loss that justice hasn’t resolved. This isn’t just a story about gun violence. It’s about the families left behind. It’s about a mother’s love. It’s about strength when you don’t have a choice. Some wounds don’t close — but purpose can still rise.
