The 515 Podcast with Raven Elizabeth
The 515 Podcast is where survivors of abuse learn to alchemize chaos into clarity and start taking themselves back. Through honest stories and grounded tools, we focus on abuse recovery, self‑reclamation, and turning what tried to break you into the gold you build your life with next.

Become a supporter of the show! This podcast exists because these stories deserve to be told and heard. Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward two things I care deeply about:
🎙️ Better production for you. Upgraded microphones, editing software, and equipment mean a cleaner, more immersive listening experience every single episode.
💜 Real impact for DV survivors. A meaningful portion of every contribution fuels advocacy work — from donating to domestic violence charities and survivor-led events, to funding research that pushes for legislative change and keeps awareness alive long after the episode ends.
I'm here because I believe that informed, engaged communities change outcomes for survivors. Your support helps me keep showing up with integrity, intention, and a mic that actually works.
If you're able to give, thank you. If you can't, sharing the show is just as powerful.
