Lianne Torres
For the first time in my life I chose me.
After years of losing myself in toxic cycles and relationships that dimmed my light, I realized the most important relationship I had been neglecting… was the one with myself.
That’s when everything shifted.
I started using my voice—not just to speak, but to heal. I reclaimed my power, and little by little, turned my pain into purpose. What once felt like rock bottom became the foundation of something bigger: a mission to help other women do the same.
Because sis, your healing? It starts with you.

I'm the voice behind the Watch Us Thrive Podcast
This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a lifeline.
Watch Us Thrive is where real healing meets real talk. Since launching in 2022, this self-development podcast has reached thousands of listeners worldwide—13k+ downloads and counting—creating a safe, no-fluff space for women navigating life after trauma.
Every week, I sit down with survivors, experts, and truth-tellers to talk about what most people are too afraid to say out loud—healing after abuse, breaking toxic cycles, rebuilding your identity, and rediscovering that inner magic you thought you lost.
Topics we dive into:
→ Healing from toxic relationships
→ Life after intimate partner violence
→ How to bounce back after trauma
→ Self-love, self-worth, & emotional resilience
→ Turning your pain into power
I don’t shy away from the uncomfortable. In fact, I highlight it, because those are the conversations that change lives.
If you’ve every felt unseen, unheard, or unsure how to move forward… this podcast was made for you.
Where it All Began...
The truth? I didn’t even realize I was in an abusive relationship.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself stuck in a cycle I didn’t know how to break—emotionally, verbally, and physically abused by the man I thought I loved.
But the signs were there.
I just didn’t know how to read them.
For years, I was the queen of settling. I had a long list of failed relationships and a nonexistent sense of self-worth. I didn’t know what self-love even looked like. I just kept chasing validation and calling it love.
The wake-up call came on March 12, 2021—the night I almost lost my life.
That night changed everything. It cracked me wide open.
And in the wreckage, I finally saw the truth:
The common denominator in all those toxic relationships… was me.
Oof. That one hit hard.
But that moment? It was also the beginning of my healing.
It forced me to stop running from myself. To look within.
And to finally begin the journey of rebuilding—from the inside out.
From Surviving to Becoming
After what I now call my “come-to-Jesus” moment, I knew something had to change.
I was tired of the bleeding wounds I kept covering up. Tired of numbing the pain. Tired of living a life that didn’t feel like mine.
I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
So I hit reset. Hard.
I made a decision to finally do the work—to face the deep-rooted trauma I’d been avoiding, and to start healing from the inside out.
The first step?
Rebuilding the one relationship I had neglected my entire life—the one with myself.
I know I survived that night for a reason.
Death knocked, but God said, Not yet, sis.
And I don’t take that for granted—because that moment didn’t just break me… it woke me up.
The Birth of Watch Us Thrive
When I started sharing my story of healing after leaving my abusive ex, something incredible happened: people listened. Women related. Survivors felt seen. And that’s how Watch Us Thrive was born.
What started as my outlet became a safe space for thousands.
A place to turn pain into power, trauma into truth, and survival into something so much bigger.
This journey?
Yeah, it’s been a wild ride.
Healing hasn’t been all rainbows and affirmations.
Some days I’m in full bad b*tch mode. Other days, I’m deep in my feels.
But every single day, I’m choosing to evolve.
And damn—it feels good to finally be proud of the woman I see in the mirror.

Turn Your Pain Into Power
Sis, your past doesn’t define you—it refines you.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from surviving abuse and rebuilding my life from the ground up, it’s this:
Your trauma is not the whole story.
It’s a chapter—not the final page.
The Watch Us Thrive podcast is a safe space for you to explore your healing, feel seen in your story, and hear voices that sound like yours. Because healing happens when we stop pretending and start talking about the sh*t we’ve been through.
We all carry pain. We all have skeletons.
But sis—those wounds deserve compassion, not shame.

→ Raw, powerful survivor stories
→ Honest convos about healing, self-worth & identity
→ Insight from trauma recovery experts & advocates
→ Solo episodes where I get real about my own growth
