Summary

Teresa L'Heureux, a dedicated powerlifter and bodybuilder, was stalked by her ex-partner. In a chilling incident, he followed her home one night, launching a violent attack and holding a knife to her throat when the police intervened to apprehend him. After breaking free from this traumatic relationship, Teresa channeled her strength into writing her book, "My Rock My Hard Place," narrating her survival through domestic violence. Driven by her own ordeal, Teresa went on to establish Survive Rise To Thrive, an organization committed to offering services and education to fellow abuse survivors. The organization's mission is to empower individuals to cultivate a resilient mindset and build a better life beyond the shadows of abuse.
