Ep 128: When Hope Feels Out of Reach for Domestic Violence Survivors


Listen Later

Navigating the family court system with an abusive ex can feel like an endless, uphill battle. 

And with our current system broken and the current state of our world, the idea of “finding hope” and positivity may not feel possible.

In this episode, we explore how to find steadiness and strength when hope feels out of reach. Instead of relying on external outcomes, we discuss how cultivating resilience and persistence can empower you, and how creating personal anchors can offer daily stability. These tools are practical, actionable, and within your control—helping you stay grounded, no matter what challenges arise.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why “hope” can feel misplaced in the family court system and what to focus on instead.
  • The power of resilience and persistence in staying steady through the process.
  • How to create and use emotional, physical, and mental “anchors” for daily grounding.
  • Practical examples of resilience-building practices and anchoring techniques.
  • How to integrate persistence and anchors for long-term stability and self-empowerment.
