Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now.com, and you're listening to the

Flying Free Podcast, a support resource for Women of faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden

because of her accent. Natalie is a gender justice specialist who's been

working to address domestic abuse issues for almost a decade,

working directly with women, subjected to abuse, and domestic abuse perpetrators,

and training church leaders and congregations on domestic abuse issues.

She has delivered keynote addresses both nationally and internationally on the subject

and has spoken alongside arch Bishops and UN representatives.

Natalie is also the founder of the 50 Shades Is Domestic Abuse campaign

and has appeared on national television, radio, and printed media talking about abuse,

consent, and women's rights.
