This week’s episode dives deep into a conversation we don’t have enough but desperately need—domestic violence. 🚫 I’m joined by Charity Jordan Rex of Harmony House, one of the leading safe spaces for survivors in Southwest Missouri, to talk about what abuse really looks like beyond the bruises. We tackle the truth behind abuse—the kind that isn’t just physical, the kind that leaves emotional bruises, financial scars, and silent shame.

Join us as we break down the difference between toxicity and abuse, how trauma bonds work, and why so many victims stay. 🫂 We also look at how pop culture, gender roles, headlines, and social media often fail survivors. From silent manipulation to loud cycles of harm, we’re unlearning everything that teaches us to excuse or normalize unhealthy love. ✨

Charity shares what it means to seek help, how shelters like Harmony House serve those in need, and what healing truly looks like after abuse. To close, I perform a spoken word piece written for the survivors 🌹! The ones who stayed. The ones who left. And the ones still searching for the door 🚪.

This episode is for anyone who’s been through it, loved someone who has, or ever needed the reminder that safe love is your birthright. Whether you’re surviving, supporting, or simply trying to understand—you don’t want to miss this one. ❤️

You…Her…Him…Me… we all deserve healthy love and conversations like these are the first step. 👣 TUNE IN ‼️
