Surviving to Thriving: Women Rising Together
What happens when you survive something that was never meant to break you, and decide to rebuild your life on your own terms?
Surviving to Thriving is a powerful and honest Outlet Ten Discussions event exploring domestic violence, resilience, rebuilding and the journey from surviving to finding your confidence, voice and sense of self again.
Hear from Natalie Russell and Maxine Booth as they share their personal experiences of domestic violence and the journeys that followed. They will speak openly about what it takes to rebuild after abuse, how they found their strength, and how they went on to build careers and lives beyond their experiences.
Natalie brings a rare combination of lived experience, professional training and emotional intelligence to conversations around relationships and personal wellbeing. Her ability to explore complex psychological and relational dynamics in a grounded, relatable way creates space for honest conversations without losing warmth or humanity. Alongside her personal story, Natalie offers insight, perspective and encouragement for women navigating difficult experiences and finding their way forward.
Maxine Booth, TV personality, journalist, actress and podcast interviewer, brings her own lived experience alongside her experience of storytelling and connecting with people. Her story is one of resilience, rebuilding and creating a successful career while reclaiming confidence and identity.
Following these powerful conversations, Claira Hermet, BBC broadcaster, content creator and women’s self-love and empowerment coach, will take the conversation beyond survival and into self-worth, confidence and empowerment. Drawing on her own experiences of loss, resilience and transformation, Claira will explore what it means to believe in yourself again, challenge limiting beliefs and create a life that feels truly yours.
This isn’t simply a conversation about domestic violence. It’s a conversation about what comes next.
It’s about recognising your worth. Finding your voice. Rebuilding your confidence. Understanding that your past does not have to dictate your future.
Whether you have experienced domestic abuse yourself, supported someone who has, or simply want to understand more, Surviving to Thriving offers a space to listen, learn, connect and feel empowered.
Come for the stories. Stay for the conversations. Leave knowing that surviving is not the end of the story.
It’s where thriving can begin.
