Victim No More With Debra Cohen Episode #184

Earlier this year I was inspired to pick up a hula hoop and I dove into learning hooping on YouTube and found Debra Cohen! This feisty woman inspired me to keep going with my hooping journey. I was blessed to be a guest on her show. She candidly opened up about her experience as a child that she pushed down. After suffering from whiplash from a car accident, Debra had a flashback from her childhood and this was send her into finding healing through a passion of music, yoga, and hula hooping.

In the 1980’s she was in a new wave band toured New England and had one radio hit, Boston Nights: https://open.spotify.com/track/5N9CoyDUlwrUhX50o0Q624?si=O0rDM0KTSZ6Gv2NfwArB-g

Someone out there needs to know they are not alone and that they can survive. Perhaps you are a parent or friend of someone trapped in an abusive relationship and need to know how to help. My goal is to share awareness, offer empowerment, and educate others about emotional traumas and domestic abuse. Here I will share my story and also stories of courage and healing from Survivors, Coaches, to Therapists/Counselors.
