Join us for an inspiring conversation about service, faith, and the power we all have to make a difference in someone else’s life.

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, we’re joined by Argentina’s incredibly talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist Daniela Milagros! 
Daniela shares her perspective on the power of music to bring people together, no matter where they come from, what their background is, or what borders may separate them.
Because music has a way of reaching us on a level that words alone sometimes can’t. 
Whether you’re a survivor, an advocate, or simply someone who has found comfort, inspiration, or connection through a favorite musician, there’s a good chance someone out there understands what that music means to you. It reminds us that, even when our experiences are different, we can still find common ground through the songs we love and the stories they tell.
Join Patti and Andrea for a conversation about music, connection, and the incredible ways it can remind us that we’re never as alone as we might think.
Tune in this week to “Is Anybody Out There?” — because sometimes, the right song can make us feel understood without saying a single word.

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, we have not one, but TWO incredible guests joining us for an important conversation about breaking barriers, building connections, and standing together to address domestic abuse.
We’re honored to welcome the Honorable Mayor of Compton, Mayor Emma Sharif, alongside Leticia Serwaah Ankrah of Women of Ghana. Though separated by thousands of miles, these two remarkable women have found common ground in a shared mission: addressing the issues that continue to affect women and working together to create meaningful change.
Domestic abuse is not confined by borders, and neither is the need for awareness, advocacy, and support. This conversation highlights the power of women coming together across cultures and communities to amplify voices, confront difficult issues, and work toward a safer future for women everywhere.
Different locations. Different communities. One shared mission. 💜
Join us this week on “Is Anybody Out There?” as we explore what can happen when passionate women connect, collaborate, and refuse to look away from the challenges women face.
Because when we stand together, our voices become stronger—and real change becomes possible.
💜 Listen, share, and help us spread the message.

💜 ONE YEAR OF “IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?” 💜
This week, “Is Anybody Out There?” Podcast is celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! 🎉
Join Patti and Andrea, along with producer Chris, as we take a moment to reflect on an incredible year of conversations, stories, and connections.
It has truly been an honor and a privilege to sit behind the Bootsy desk, listening to the powerful stories of survivors and advocates who have been willing to share their voices with us.
Together, we’ve talked about the realities of domestic abuse in all of its devastating forms—and, more importantly, we’ve talked about survival, healing, hope, advocacy, and finding the courage to speak up.
Every guest has reminded us why these conversations matter. Every story has the potential to reach someone who needs to hear that they are not alone.
One year in the books. 💜One year of voices being heard.One year of awareness, advocacy, and hope.
And we’re just getting started.
Thank you for being part of the “Is Anybody Out There?” family. 💜

This week on “Is Anybody Out There?”, we’re joined by Savannah Zuro, who opens up about a childhood shaped by uncertainty, resilience, and growing up in and out of the foster care system.
Savannah shares what it was like growing up with her siblings under an abusive parent, and never knowing exactly what the future would hold. She talks about what it means to feel lost—and what it took to finally find herself.
Her road hasn’t been easy. Savannah has faced challenges that could have defined her future, but instead, she found a way forward. Today, she is building a life filled with happiness and success while working to break the cycle of addiction that affected so many members of her family before her.
Her story is one of resilience, healing, self-discovery, and choosing to create a different future.
Sometimes breaking a cycle means being the first person brave enough to say, “It ends with me.”
Join us this week for Savannah’s powerful story on “Is Anybody Out There?”
