Podcast with Josh Brown - CEO Fort Bend Women's Center
Episode 1 — The Power of “I Am” | With Josh Brown, CEO of Fort Bend Women’s Center
In this first episode, Josh Brown, CEO of Fort Bend Women’s Center (FBWC), shares a powerful reflection from nearly a decade of working alongside survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
At Fort Bend Women’s Center, we provide shelter, safety, advocacy, counseling, and resources to survivors and their families. Every day, we witness stories of courage, resilience, and quiet strength—moments that often go unseen, but matter deeply.
This episode explores one simple yet life-changing idea:
the power of saying “I am.”
Through the story of “Sofia,” a survivor who found the courage to say “I am scared,” Josh highlights how even the smallest act of honesty can be the first step toward safety and healing.
Not every breakthrough is loud.
Sometimes, the bravest thing someone can do… is name what they feel.
In this episode:
• The reality of what survivors experience in silence
• Why small wins matter more than we realize
• How naming your feelings can be the first step toward reclaiming your power
• How to support someone who may be struggling

Episode 2 — "The 2 AM Search" | With Josh Brown, CEO of Fort Bend Women’s Center
It’s two in the morning.
The house is quiet.
And someone, somewhere, is searching for answers they’ve never said out loud before.
In this episode, Josh Brown, CEO of Fort Bend Women’s Center (FBWC), reflects on one of the most overlooked yet powerful moments in a survivor’s journey—the moment before reaching out for help.
The moment of searching.
Before a phone call is made…
Before a plan is formed…
There is often a quiet, private act of courage: typing a question into a search bar.
“Is this abuse?”
“Why am I always afraid?”
“Is there somewhere I can go?”
These questions may seem small.
But they are not.
They are the beginning of awareness.
The beginning of truth.
The beginning of change.
In this episode
• Why many survivors begin their journey by searching, not speaking
• The hidden reality of late-night questions and quiet courage
• How awareness becomes the first step toward safety and healing
• Why you don’t have to have all the answers to begin moving forward

A Quiet Reminder
You don’t have to figure everything out tonight.
You don’t have to take every step at once.
Because sometimes, the very first small win…
is simply searching for the truth.
