Turning Pain Into Purpose with Victoria Smith

1 hr 24 min

In this episode of Barely Famous, Kail sits down with Victoria Smith, a domestic violence survivor turned “survivor life coach” who now helps women rebuild after they’ve gotten out. What starts as a conversation about leaving unsafe relationships quickly expands into the parts people don’t always talk about: the long-term impact on confidence, identity, finances, parenting and why “just leave” is rarely that simple. Victoria shares how surviving years of control and escalation reshaped the way she sees boundaries, safety, and healing, and why she eventually shifted her focus toward supporting survivors on the other side of crisis. Kail also opens up about her own experience navigating the system, the public misunderstanding around domestic violence, and the complicated reality of being judged for choices you make while you’re still trying to survive. It’s a heavy but honest conversation about domestic violence recovery, trauma, addiction as a coping mechanism, and what it actually takes to reclaim your life and protect your kids after everything changes. If you or someone you love needs help, please visit the national DV support website , call 1 800 7233 or text start at 88788 for guidance and support.

The Friend Who Became Family With Emily Fortner

1 hr 6 min

On this episode of Barely Famous, Kail sits down with her best friend Emily Fortner, the one you’ve seen in the background of real life: school drop-offs, kids’ sports, Book Club, and all the in-between moments that don’t make the highlight reel. Just two moms reflecting on how a real friendship forms, grows, and becomes family. They get into the invisible work: what it’s actually like to be a teacher carrying other people’s kids all day and then going home to do it again as a single mom, the mental load that never clocks out, and how burnout can look like “tired” in a way sleep doesn’t fix. Along the way, Kail opens up about what school felt like for her growing up, why certain adults can change a kid’s entire trajectory, and how motherhood shifts when you’re trying to take care of everyone while still learning how to take care of yourself. It’s funny, emotional, and wildly relatable, especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything and still wondering if it’s enough.

Prison Tattoos with Larry Normile

1 hr 21 min

Kail sits down with Larry Normile owner of Artistic Additions in Dover, Delaware for a conversation that starts with tattooing and turns into something so much bigger. Larry opens up about learning to tattoo as a teenager, how tattoo culture has changed over the years, and why he’s passionate about shifting the judgment people still carry around visible ink. The heart of the episode is Larry’s groundbreaking work inside one of Delaware’s largest prisons, where he’s teaching inmates a real tattoo apprenticeship complete with education on hygiene, bloodborne pathogens, regulations, technique, business basics, testing, and documented hours.

Along the way, Larry shares his own story from foster care and juvenile detention to prison and ultimately rebuilding his life. It’s raw, hopeful, and a reminder that people are more than the worst thing they’ve ever done. Follow Larry for more info and to see his portfolio!
