The 515 Podcast with Raven Elizabeth

Send us Fan Mail In this short solo episode of 515, I sit down after a brutal morning in divorce court and talk about what happens when the systems that are supposed to protect you… rewrite your story instead. No kids, no house to fight over, no request for money. On paper, it should be a simple divorce. But the petition that was filed in my name says something else entirely: that I’m unemployed,...

Send us Fan Mail In the first-ever Surface Tension session, Raven sits down with Jason (aka Chad from Episode 9) for a late‑night, red‑envelope conversation that goes wherever the questions take them. They start with music and inner teenagers, then spill into hallucinogenic grief rituals, anxiety, and what it means when your body reacts before your mind can catch up. Along the way, they unpack men...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I talk about how watching the latest Wuthering Heights adaptation wrecked me in the best and worst ways—and why it felt less like a classic and more like watching my past with “Chad” on screen.

If you are not ready, but your body leans in anyway, you are still welcome here. You get to listen at your own pace, pause when your nervous system says stop, and come back when you are ready. I am not here to fix you, diagnose you, or tell you what you should do with yo...

Send us Fan Mail An Open Letter to My Ex-Husband’s Next Victim” is a raw, explicit warning written for the woman who comes after me and has no idea what she is walking into. Using my own notes, timelines, and recorded calls, I spell out how my ex-husband twists words, disputes reality, and turns empathy into a weapon, and I name the sexual, emotional, and psychological patterns he is likely to rep...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is exactly what it sounds like: an open letter to my ex‑husband. I’m talking directly to him about the invisible chains, the fantasy I never actually agreed to, and the moment I finally chose to walk.  If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or “the problem” while your whole body is saying, “No, something is really wrong,” I think you’ll hear yourself in this....

Send us Fan Mail In this short episode, I step out of the “infrastructure” role I talked about in Episode 2 and speak directly to the first fragile moments of leaving abuse and coming back to yourself. I walk through simple, real‑life acts of spiritual alchemy and self-reclamation, and invite you to name the role you are ready to step out of and the one small way you will honor yourself this week....

Send us Fan Mail In this intro, Raven shares how she went from trauma‑informed and self aware to trapped in an abusive marriage that distorted her reality, and how 515 became her symbol of alchemy, turning chaos and shame into clarity, boundaries, and self trust.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The 515 Podcast, Raven reads a raw reflection on six years of back‑to‑back relationships that were sold as love but operated as entrapment and objectification.
