"I Got Out of An Abusive Relationship"

Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, sexual assault, and abuse, as well as references to substance use. Please take care while listening.

To honor International Women’s Day, Alex steps out of the studio for a special episode filmed at Harvest Home in Los Angeles, sitting down with Executive Director Sarah Wilson and Harvest Home alum Angie. Angie shares a personal story of how childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and opioid addiction eventually led her to experience homelessness while pregnant. Together, Alex, Sarah, and Angie discuss the realities of domestic violence, the risks of leaving an abuser, and how trauma can shape a woman’s sense of self-worth. They also talk about the power of women showing up for one another, the impact of true community, and how we can better support the women around us.
