About the Author

I, Fonda Woodard, proudly served for 36 years in the Federal Aviation Administration, working as a transportation specialist, career advisor, and first sergeant. Beyond my professional life, I am a devoted wife, mother of four, and grandmother of ten, one of whom is my beloved angel grandbaby. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management Studies with a minor in Women’s Studies from the University of Maryland Global Campus.

After years of carrying unspoken pain, I found the courage to share my story. Never Said a Word is my debut book, written with honesty and strength.

My advocacy extends through my podcast, a FEW Mindful Moments, which talks about healing, resilience, and growth. Moreover, my blog, a FEW Lost Words, is a place where I share further, deeper reflections.

Today, I continue to advocate for survivors, service members, veterans, and families, ensuring that their voices are heard and acknowledged.

A FEW Mindful Moments Podcast

Through my podcast, a Few Mindful Moments, I create space for honest conversations about resilience, healing, and personal growth. Each episode offers encouragement and meaningful reflections to help listeners overcome life’s challenges and take forward their own journey toward wholeness.
