Why She Stayed

Ep. 72: When Faith Is Weaponized: Naming the Abuse, Healing the Grief, Finding Hope Again | Beverly's Story


Listen Later

"I didn't think it could happen to me."


In this deeply personal and courageous episode, Beverly Hallberg — founder and president of District Media Group — shares her powerful story of surviving abuse. What began with subtle glimpses of control eventually unraveled into something much deeper, finally exposed by the unimaginable loss of her baby.


As we acknowledge Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October, Beverly’s story is a vital reminder that abuse often wears a mask - and that mask can be both convincing and devastating. Through her long-form essay and now this conversation, she sheds light on how abuse can be insidious, and how leaving is never easy — but healing is possible.


This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned their reality, felt isolated in their grief, or needed to know they are not alone.
