Episode 138: SOLO Episode: Shedding Light on Emotional Abuse

I am back with another solo episode this week. October is domestic violence awareness month, so, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about a specific type of domestic violence: emotional abuse. Yes, emotional abuse is a form of domestic violence.

Talking about emotional abuse is part of my healing, my personal journey, and my growth. So much of the work that we do in my Facebook group is around helping women identify emotional abuse and come to terms with the fact that that's what's happening to them.

We have to talk about emotional abuse.

We have to talk about it because the more we talk about it, the more we realize we are not alone.

When women talk about abuse and relate to each other's stories, that's when we rise up and say, "Oh, hell no. No fucking more."

Show Highlights
