In this episode, I interviewed Stephany Ann, an attorney and recipient of the governor's award for advocacy with survivors of domestic violence, who shares her journey of healing and personal growth after experiencing
domestic violence. She emphasizes the importance of moving from a victim mindset to an empowered mindset, letting go of the “why me” and focusing on the
lessons and growth opportunities. Stephany discusses the cycle of narcissistic abuse and the challenges of leaving toxic relationships. She provides insights into the trauma bond and the cognitive dissonance that keeps individuals
trapped in abusive relationships. Stephany uses her platform to educate and support survivors of domestic violence, offering resources and guidance for
leaving safely and navigating the legal process. Check out this clip, where Stephany and I discuss the myths about the cycle of abuse. Subscribe to any of the platforms below!
