We are the ones responsible for defining who looks back at us in the mirror every single day.
- Regina Marie
Behind a smiling woman is a painful past full of trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and injustice.
This is probably one of the most heartbreaking truths you’ll ever have to swallow. No matter how much we wave the magic wand, we can never erase the nightmarish experience of a trauma survivor. A wife that is yet to survive or is still currently trapped in an abusive marriage has the unfortunate tragedy of discovering there is no Disney-like ending to her story. In fact, every day is full of despair.
But for those who have had the strength and courage to step out of the darkness and decided to walk into their own light - this podcast is for you. It is my lifelong goal to use this platform and my voice to amplify the plight of so many women and men who have been pained and wronged by a narcissistic, abusive partner.
I hope that you will find not only solace but actual, practical solutions by listening to this podcast. Each week, you’ll be hearing from different people who are willing to selflessly share their own experiences and expertise to bring light to the issue of emotional and domestic abuse. You will also hear from me as I retell my own personal battles, such as what I have done in this maiden episode.
Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to help you heal from abuse. Whether you find healing and music, poetry, motivational speeches, inspiring quotes in art, physical fitness, and cooking - you name it - it does take the village. But it starts with you showing up for yourself. And listening to this podcast is one way you're doing that.
Be proud of yourself for this very action of self-love that you're giving to yourself right now. And feel free to share it with others who need the support and encouragement.
