In this raw and uplifting episode of Victim 2 Victor, I sit down with Sophia Elan - memoirist, multi-genre author, and global storyteller - who proves that our deepest wounds can birth our greatest strength.

After surviving trauma and emotional upheaval, Sophia turned to the page not just to heal, but to roar. Her memoir, How Writing ROAR Saved My Life, is a courageous exploration of reclaiming voice, breaking silence, and writing one’s way to freedom.

Now based abroad and living boldly as an expat writer, Sophia shares her transformative journey through memoir, fiction, and self-help. We explore how writing becomes therapy, why sensuality and creativity are forms of reclamation, and how reinvention is always possible - geographically, emotionally, and spiritually.

📖 In this episode, we dive into:

  • The healing power of storytelling and owning your truth
  • Why writing trauma is a courageous act of self-rescue
  • How Sophia’s global lifestyle has redefined her sense of identity
  • Navigating shame, voice, and visibility as a survivor
  • What ROAR really stands for and how you can start writing your own

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who’s been silenced, stuck, or afraid to tell their story. Sophia reminds us that healing is not about perfection - it’s about permission.
