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 not here with my hand out. 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.

Demand justice. Sign and share the Voiceless Justice Act, a federal initiative to recognize narcissistic abuse as psychological homicide and criminalize it accordingly. Every signature is another voice against silence.

Raven Elizabeth

Raven Elizabeth is a storyteller shaped by the stage, the page, and the harder chapters of lived experience. An English major focused in literary criticism, mythology, linguistics, and the philosophy of narrative, she approaches every story with both an analyst's eye and a poet's ear — grounded by a lifelong, self-driven study of psychology.

A Certified Pharmacy Technician and QA Specialist in nonsterile compounding, a classically trained singer, a ten-year dancer, and a theater kid at heart.

Raven is a survivor of intimate partner violence and sexual abuse, and that lived experience anchors her deepest purpose. She serves as a Lived Experience Coach at 515 Fitness Inc: The Healing Studio, and as Media Coordinator and member of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 521.

At home, she shares her space with Helo, her dog, and Nigel, her bearded dragon — both strong editorial opinions on every script.
