Escaping abusive relationships is not always easy- but there are steps you can take and support. In this video, we interview McKayla Julian, an advocate for abused women and founder of Pretty Tough Ladies, a support and resource center for abused women where she helps them get the counseling, clothes, shelter, and jobs women need to live healthy lives away from their abusive partners.

In this interview, she shares her story as well as tips on how to escape and when to escape. We also hear from one of our brave talk show hosts' experience of leaving an abusive relationship.
