Summary

Content warning: mental illness, animal abuse, animal cruelty, violence, domestic violence, and murder.

Eric Johnson is a security professional, author, co-victim of murder, and victim advocate from Michigan. He launched himself towards a career designed to protect and serve the safety of consumers at a very young age. However, his career in victim advocacy would begin after losing his father Bill (and Bill’s beloved dog) to domestic violence in 2021. What came next in terms of the legal system and in terms of his healing is a testament to Eric’s immense strength and fortitude, and the Broken cycle Media team is immensely grateful he was willing to share his time and perspective with us this week.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory of Bill Johnson.
