The Second Front Podcast

Pain is the battlefield. Purpose is the victory.

Hosted by Dr. Cole Miller, The Second Front Podcast is where survival meets purpose. Born from the raw pages of her memoir, Dr. Miller brings unflinching honesty to stories of illness, assault, abuse, faith, queerness, and resilience.

Each episode dives into the battles we rarely name out loud—the ones fought in our bodies, our marriages, our faith, and our sense of self. Through memoir readings, personal reflections, and conversations with other survivors and healers, Dr. Miller turns trauma into testimony and scars into strength.

This podcast is not just about what was endured. It’s about what was forged in the fire: resilience, community, faith, love without apology, and the unshakable truth that surviving is not enough. Purpose is the victory.

If you’ve ever wondered whether life after devastation can hold more than survival—this is your space. A survival guide. A companion. A call to rise.
