This week, I’m sharing something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart. After reading post after post in divorce support groups, I felt compelled to speak up—especially after seeing a woman ask what she should do after her husband hit her for the first time. That question alone stopped me in my tracks, and I knew this conversation couldn’t wait.
In this episode, I talk openly and passionately about self-love, self-worth, and why abuse is never something to tolerate, justify, or normalize. I also share parts of my own healing journey, what it took to pull myself out of the darkest place of my life, and why doing the inner work—no matter how painful—is the only way to truly break destructive cycles and reclaim your life.
