Today we’re talking about safe storytelling, breaking stigma, and how to support voices that deserve to be heard. Because every voice creates change.
Silence protects abusers. Speaking out empowers survivors. Every time a survivor shares their truth the cycle of shame starts to break.
You don’t have to share everything to break your silence. It can start with a whisper, a journal entry, a trusted friend, a support group.
Every story told safely chips away at the stigma that keeps survivors quiet. Because when one voice rises, others find the courage to do the same.

If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation and you need help message privately for national contact info for help. Stay safe and God bless!
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.
