Dr. Michele Finneran and I discuss the support that is needed and can be received with the right direction while in Domestic Abuse situation.  We discuss not just the support needed for the person in the abuse situation but the support needed for the people surrounding the person being abused.  There isn't enough discussion about the people that surround the abuse victim.  Those people can be helpful but can 100% become an incredibly large issue as well.   Dr. Finneran's mission in writing this book, "Surviving Domestic Abuse: Formal and Informal Supports and Services", is to help victims of domestic abuse navigate effectively through the myriad of formal and informal supports and services. She interviewed real-life survivors and utilized their voices to translate what was helpful in escaping the realm of domestic abuse. Dr. Finneran's passion in writing this book is to provide knowledge, give support options and ultimately empower victims of domestic abuse. It is also the intent of this author to leverage victims' perceptions, reflections and feelings...and to document recommendations for policy, strategy and decision making for supports and service providers.

Sam is a high school senior who was diagnosed with autism when he was 4. Although Sam has faced challenges along the way, autism never has HAD him. Sam is the creator and owner of the podcast Autism Rocks and Rolls, which can be found on Podbean, YouTube, ITunes, Spotify, and SoundCloud. Sam loves rock and roll music, so Autism Rocks and Rolls was born.  

Through Sam's podcast and public speaking, the messages and missions he wants to spread are: I am not broken. Look at me. Do not ignore me because I have autism. I am a functional member of society. I can do what you do, just a little differently, but, aren't we all different? I am the voice of those who can and can't speak on the spectrum. Don't ignore and dismiss us. Recognize that we are a human being first. We just happen to have autism.

Life after the military is sometimes hard and when you see the things that certain parts of the military personnel see, then it is REALLY hard.  Eric and I discuss what drove him to write his new book Bomb Hunters Story - Clearing Roads.  He talks about the job he had in the military and the things that he had to see and be a part of that led to PTSD and the realization that he was going to have a hard transition back to "normal" life.  He found out that there was not as many resources for military veterans when they get out of the service to get help for the mental part of trauma that forms when you have the types of jobs that military personnel have.  Please check out his book link below to get his book and read his story of life after the military.   https://www.amazon.com/Bomb-Hunters-S...

Years of abuse can do a number on a persons mental, emotional, physical, financial and spiritual well being.  You can get past it with a little work on yourself.  Paola Frias and I have a conversation about ways to work past issues that abuse can cause in a person.  The cycle is real and the issues that come from it are hard for a person to get past without some support and work on self love and self esteem.

Common threads among abuse.

From starting a relationship and ignoring the red flags, to the punishments received while in the relationship then to having to call the police and get free from it all - this interview goes start to finish of a narcissistic relationship.  Laura and I discuss multiple facets of being in a relationship with a narcissistic partner.  Although the face in the situation is different, the situation itself feels so familiar.  Laura is wanting to help young women learn the red flags of abuse before they get sucked into a long term relationship with the wrong person.  You can find her blog and Instagram below:
