Ramona Probasco never thought she would do any of these things.

In this episode, Juli invites Dr. Ramona to share her story. You'll hear how to distinguish domestic abuse from common conflict in marriage, get a glimpse into the mindset of an abusive spouse, and better understand why finding the right kind of help can be difficult. Grab your Java and join us.
