“My name is Roia Atmar, and—in my after—I made it a mission that other women find proof of their own. Proof that there is no uncomplicated route, that fear and shame lives in the most dubious of places, even still. That abuse does not end with the last lighting of a match, with the last foul insult, with the last bellow of a man—or ten—as they stand on the dusty steps of a court, the same court where women wanting nothing more than justice stand, holding space for any semblance of pride they can muster. Women that fight for their very own afters.”
In the sixth and final episode, My Name is Roia Atmar, she battles through the family court system as she is confronted not only by her abuser, but by the loud and obnoxious presence of “Men's Rights Activists”. As she fights to keep herself and her children safe, Roia reflects on the ongoing nature of healing, survival and hope.

What does my ‘after’ look like? How did my story begin?
Tender is a thoughtful podcast series about what happens when women leave abusive relationships.
The first season of Tender followed Madison’s journey of self-discovery and growth after an abusive relationship, zooming in on the small, soft details. Tender started where the story seemingly ends, at least in how domestic abuse narratives are often conveyed.
It has been two years, and in that time domestic abuse has remained a national crisis.
For those that survive abusive relationships, that forge their own complex journeys after undergoing a kind of private terror, the monstrosity of that experience doesn’t come with an expiration date. The hurt doesn’t always promise to subside, and when—or if—it does, the healing never quite looks the way it seems it should. But scattered amongst it all are pivotal moments: of tenderness, of growth, of selfhood.
In the second season of Tender, we introduce you to Roia Atmar, a mother, activist, survivor. Join us as we invite you into Roia’s after.
