EP45: Stand up, have courage & fight for what's best

As a mum of 2, and a survivor of domestic abuse, Edwina knows what it takes to stand up, have courage and fight for what is best for her family. She is a self-confessed 'workaholic', and loves nothing more than to support others in their journey. Whether that be through bringing awareness of domestic abuse or through the business she now runs via her Facebook group Ed's Online Positivity Cafe.

Edwina suffered at the hands of her abuser for more than 10years before she moved both her and her children away and started to create a better future for them all. Edwina herself also has several chronic illnesses and has struggled with her own mental health so is no stranger to needing a supporting hand, but has not always had the courage or confidence to ask for it.

"I want all women to know that no matter how dark it feels some days, no matter how big the struggle, better days are coming. I'll continue to be the cheerleader for others that I never had." – Edwina Clark
