May 07, 2025 • Jodi

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast!

What happens when you stop waiting for validation and start giving yourself permission to grow, speak, and lead?

In this powerful episode of Today is the Day Changemakers, I sit down with book coach, author, permission expert, and visionary Kim O’Hara. From confronting the silence around sexual abuse to stepping into her truth as a bestselling author and extraordinary book coach, Kim shares her deeply personal journey of healing, self-actualization, and creative leadership.

We talk about:

The real story behind writing No Longer Denying Sexual Abuse
Becoming a single Mom and working at Trader Joe's
Purchasing a home for the first time and how that changed her life
How permission became the catalyst for her growth
Why clarity and organization are non-negotiables for aspiring authors
What it means to create impact-driven content in today’s world

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a writer, or someone standing at a crossroads, Kim’s insights will help you get honest with your story—and finally give yourself the green light to tell it.
