***Trigger Warning***
This is a heavier episode as we speak of domestic violence and abuse. If you are suffering or recovering from a mood or mental disorder and/or are a victim of sexual assault and abuse, please listen with caution or skip this episode. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or to trigger negative thoughts or emotions. Also, if you are a bit more sensitive or an empath, you also may want to listen with caution.

I met Ty through SafeNest -- an organization, shelter, and place of safety and support for survivors and victims of domestic violence. We were both going through the training to become a volunteer through the organization.

In this week's episode, Ty shares his experiences growing up witnessing his grandma be abused by his grandpa. We then discuss factors, warnings signs, myths, and advocacy for abuse victims. Tune in to hear his whole story!
