Summary
This week I am sounding off about why I get political on my podcast, on social media, and in my work.
The short answer: It's because it matters and it's all intertwined. America is extricating itself from a relationship with a toxic abuser. The same thing is being played out in so many marriages that I see.
In this episode, I breakdown the intersection between politics and my work in women's empowerment. I explore the similarities between Donald Trump and toxic partners, and why doing the work to remove yourself from such relationships is so important. Not just for you, but for your children, and for America.
Show Highlights
- Why I talk about politics in my work.
- Consider where the power dynamic shifted in your relationship.
- Why you need to have a solid exit plan when leaving a toxic relationship.
- The importance of understanding and acknowledging privileges to support others who do not have the same privilege.
- Why it's important to do the work and be an active participant in changing the systems and behaviors in your life.

| 1:26.2 | I mean, I think you guys know that I was |
| 1:27.9 | planning on going on my cross-country road trip. And the day I was leaving, the very day, |
| 1:33.7 | everything was in the car. One of my dogs was in the car. And my other dog ran out into the street |
| 1:42.4 | to bark wildly at a much larger dog who attacked her. |
| 1:49.2 | And it was brutal and it was awful and she's okay. |
| 1:52.4 | But it was, you know, emergency surgery, $7,000 later. |
