Summary
In this week’s episode, I share the many struggles I dealt with after an abusive relationship. I thought I had no where to turn and no support until I was forced to speak my truth regarding my abuse. The hardships I faced while getting through this pivotal moment in my life not only gave me clarity but showed me that you are more than your partner and your situation. Join me in this discussion of learning when to ask for help and knowing your true value.
