Today’s episode is all about healing from domestic violence when you have children. We are talking about leaving a toxic marriage and the difficulties of doing so when you have children.

Our guest Rebecca P. joined us today to share her journey of navigating and ending a toxic and abusive marriage, all while trying to emotionally and physically protect her children. Rebecca is a mother of four who is pushing to be her best for her children and herself! Rebecca shares with us how she navigated doing what was best for her children and eventually learned how to do what's best for herself in the process.
