Summary

Part Two - Healing my trauma. In this important episode, I sit down with Kelly, an extraordinary woman who bravely shares her story of survival and healing. From enduring a childhood filled with domestic violence at the hands of her father to entering a relationship with a man who subjected her to ten years of verbal and emotional abuse, Kelly’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Hear what Kelly endured for decades of her life, how it finally broke her and how she is now healing and creating a new and intentional life, on her own terms.

Key Takeaways:

Identify the Signs: Be aware of the signs and patterns of domestic violence and abuse.
Break the Cycle: While the cycle of domestic violence may repeat, it is possible to break free and find healing and freedom.
Understand the Impact: Domestic violence can result in PTSD, nervous system disorders, and feelings of burnout and fatigue.
Choose Your Path: Trauma can transform your life, but you have the power to choose to be a fighter rather than a victim.
Embrace Healing: No matter what you’ve experienced, healing is achievable, and you can create a fulfilling life on your own terms.
