Welcome to The Next ChaptHER, a podcast for women navigating change, identity shifts, ambition, health wake-up calls, evolving relationships, and the messy middle of life.
I’m your host, Andrea Hecht, Certified Professional Life Coach, educator, writer, and founder of Fully Informed Life.
This is a space for honest conversations about what happens when the life you built no longer fits the woman you’re becoming.
On this podcast, I sit down with inspiring women and respected thought leaders for real conversations about reinvention, resilience, body changes, career pivots, confidence, motherhood, marriage, health challenges, ambition, and joy. We talk about what it actually takes to begin again, sometimes more than once.
You will hear personal stories, expert insight, and practical wisdom from women who are leading, building, healing, and evolving in real time.
This podcast is not about having it all figured out.
It is about learning to trust yourself again.
It is about reclaiming your voice.
It is about writing your next chapter on purpose.
If you are in the in-between, no longer who you were and not yet who you are becoming, you are in the right place.
Let’s step into your Next ChaptHER.

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER Podcast, Andrea sits down with Dr. Andrea Hogan — known to her students as “Dr. Dre” — for a powerful conversation about losing your voice without losing it physically.
Together, they explore coercive control, what it looks like beyond physical abuse, and how identity can slowly erode through gaslighting, power imbalances, and survival mode. Dr. Dre shares her personal journey of recognizing coercive control, navigating mental health recovery, and reclaiming authorship of her life.
This conversation also turns toward rebuilding — letting new things in, rediscovering joy, finding community, and stepping into advocacy and purpose.
In This Episode We Discuss:
-
What coercive control is and why it’s often invisible
-
How women lose their voice and sense of self over time
-
Mental health recovery and removing stigma around seeking help
-
Post-traumatic growth and reclaiming authorship
-
Finding identity and joy beyond survival
