Brave & Free: Escaping Domestic Abuse


Listen Later

What if the path to freedom meant leaving behind everything you've ever known? Anna Lopes, a survivor turned advocate, takes the boys on a rollercoaster ride from the opulent streets of the UAE to the depths of domestic violence and back to the heights of healing. Anna peels back the layers of her past, revealing the invisible chains of manipulation that once bound her and the heart-pounding moment of her escape. She explores how childhood trauma shapes adult relationships and navigates the cultural tightrope of mental health discussions in Dubai. Through her Instagram page, Brave and Free, Anna transforms from survivor to warrior, proving that even in the darkest of deserts, hope can bloom.
