In this deeply moving and transformative episode of SHE DECIDES, host Staci Swiderski sits down with JoJo Dries, founder and director of On the Wings of Angels, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing immediate support, resources, and community to domestic violence survivors.

JoJo courageously shares her personal journey, escaping decades of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, rebuilding her life from the ground up, and turning her pain into a powerful mission to help others do the same. From leaving home at 29 with nothing but the clothes she carried, to receiving unexpected community support that became the blueprint for her organization, JoJo’s story is one of resilience, intuition, and radical self-belief.

Together, Staci and JoJo explore:

• The moment JoJo decided to break the cycle and reclaim her life
• Why survivors often leave and return multiple times, and how her team approaches safety with compassion and clarity
• The importance of mental health care, financial literacy, and community in long-term healing
• How her nonprofit has already helped more than 200 survivors in just two years
• Why women supporting women, vocally, visibly, and consistently, changes everything

JoJo also opens up about launching massive community events, securing major sponsorships, and why “doing it afraid” has become her guiding philosophy. Her message is a powerful reminder that every woman deserves safety, dignity, independence, and the chance to rewrite her future.

Because when SHE DECIDES to step out of the darkness and into her own strength, she does not just change her life, she changes the lives of everyone who follows.
