✨ Remember: divorce may bend you, but it does not break you. You are stronger than you think, and your bold new chapter starts now. ✨

In this Bent Not Broken bonus coaching episode, Coach Deborah reflects on powerful lessons from her conversation with author Terry M. Brown and what truly happens after leaving a long-term emotionally abusive marriage.

This episode is for anyone navigating emotional abuse recovery, gaslighting recovery, financial control, divorce healing, and post-divorce life. Coach Deborah breaks down how emotional abuse trains you to doubt yourself, making even small decisions feel overwhelming — a common trauma response, not a personal failure.

You’ll learn why boundaries are essential for healing, how follow-through creates safety and freedom, and why healing doesn’t change who you are — it helps you reclaim your identity after abuse. Coach Deborah also explores how stored trauma lives in the body, why emotional reactions can surface long after separation, and simple grounding tools to support trauma recovery.

Finally, this episode highlights how doing hard things — big or small — rebuilds confidence and self-trust after a toxic relationship or emotionally abusive marriage. Healing is not about being “fixed,” but about becoming more aware, grounded, and aligned with who you truly are.

If you’re searching for hope, clarity, and guidance while starting over after emotional abuse or divorce, this episode reminds you of one truth:

You are not broken. You are bent — and rising.

In this inspiring episode of Bent Not Broken, Coach Deborah sits down with Teri M. Brown, award-winning author and survivor of emotional and financial abuse, to share her powerful journey of healing, self-discovery, and resilience.

Teri opens up about leaving a 14-year emotionally abusive marriage, where manipulation, isolation, and financial control slowly eroded her confidence and sense of self. Like many women recovering from toxic relationships, she describes how abuse impacts everyday decision-making, self-trust, and identity long after the relationship ends.

Through writing as a healing tool, Teri rediscovered her voice and purpose, going on to publish award-winning fiction and inspirational works. Her recovery took a bold turn when she and her husband rode a tandem bicycle across the United States, an experience that deepened trust, rebuilt confidence, and helped her reclaim belief in her own capability.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The hidden impact of emotional and financial abuse
• Why leaving a toxic marriage is often the hardest step
• How storytelling and creativity support trauma healing
• Rebuilding confidence after divorce and abuse
• Life lessons from doing something boldly outside your comfort zone

Teri also shares insights from her book 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure and offers hope for women navigating life after abuse, divorce recovery, and starting over.
