SHAPE - Season 4

From surviving an assault at just 14, coerced by someone she trusted, to being dismissed by members of her own church, Brittney’s story is one of deep pain, but also incredible strength. In this raw episode of The Shape Campaign, she shares how silence shaped her early years, and what it means to speak out now. Brittney also reflects on navigating relationships as an adult, the moment she realized her story mattered, and the lessons she’s passing on to her son, who is autistic, curious, and learning to advocate for himself just like she is. This isn’t just a story about trauma. It’s a story about survival, truth, and the power of saying: I believe in me, even if no one else does.

Janice grew up in a household full of powerful women, raised in Connecticut by her mother, with her sister. Janice began to struggle with alcohol—something she now openly names and owns: “I was an alcoholic.” Her journey through addiction wasn’t just about drinking; it was about trying to silence pain, perfectionism, and unmet expectations. In this deeply personal episode of The Shape Campaign, Janice reflects on her relationship with alcohol and her evolving connection with her father. Through honesty, accountability, and grace, she is learning what it truly means to reclaim her voice, her power, and her peace. Whether you’ve faced addiction, grief, or the pressure to be strong all the time—Janice’s story is a reminder that healing is never linear, but always worth it.

In this powerful episode, Moriah opens up about the complexities of identity, family, and the fight to reclaim her health. Raised in Wisconsin, she grew up with a quiet strength—one shaped by the divorce of her parents and her own struggle with multiple eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and orthorexia. What’s even more unique? Her father also struggled with anorexia in his youth and now advocates for awareness—proving that healing is not just personal, but generational.

In this episode of The Shape Campaign, Shy opens up about the pressure of growing up too fast, her close bond with her mother, and how traditional values shaped her beliefs about love. She challenges today’s “50/50” relationship narratives and unapologetically shares her vision of partnership — one rooted in provision, protection, and rest. With bold clarity and soft strength, Shy reminds us that embracing femininity, legacy, and standards doesn’t make you old-fashioned — it makes you self-aware. Her story is about choosing what feels right for you, even when it goes against modern noise.

In this raw and powerful episode of The Shape Campaign, Arica opens up about the hidden pain behind her past and the strength it took to break free. From childhood sexual abuse to using sex as a coping mechanism, Arica candidly describes how trauma shaped her early years and how therapy, life coaching, and purpose gave her a path to healing. After losing both her brother and her mother just four months apart. Consumed by grief, Arica is using her story to inspire others. She's an author, a speaker, and a woman reclaiming her voice, one truth at a time. Arica’s story is a testament to the power of survival, transformation, and purpose. She proves that even in the face of deep loss and betrayal, it’s never too late to rise.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Kayla is the youngest of four. With a distant father and a sister who cut ties, she’s carried more than her share—helping raise her sister’s kids while navigating family silence. Quiet and thoughtful, she leans on her grandmother and a few close friends. Still learning to show up for herself, Kayla’s journey is about healing inward, one step at a time.
