In honor of it being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, today's episode will have no sponsored ads.

I want to give McKinley 100% of the show's time to share her story.

One in four women and one in seven men have been victims of

physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. I hope that

McKinley's story of abuse can empower victims to leave, speak up, and take action against their abusers.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, call 1-800,799, 723, or text start to 8878.

72 hours yeah like everything has just gone crazier and crazier for you week after week after week and you have a story that you deserve to share
