Beyond the Monsters
Beyond the Monsters confronts the silence around trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental illness—one brutal truth at a time.
Hosted by Chell Bane—a medical professional with 20+ years in psychiatry and addiction medicine, and a survivor of trauma herself—this podcast dives into the darkest parts of the human experience to prove one thing: healing is possible, and no one should have to fight their monsters alone.
Here, survivors, experts, and changemakers speak honestly about what they’ve lived through—and what it takes to move forward. There’s no gatekeeping, no sugarcoating, and no shame.
If you’re searching for truth, connection, and hope—you belong here.
