Escaping Domestic Abuse with Gi Dhanoa

Gi Dhanoa embarked on becoming a full-time entrepreneur in 2020 when she began to realise her full potential; within. She's a published Amazon author for her book Forgiven Forgotten, Sooooo a poetry book raising awareness on Domestic Abuse and Mental Health. Gi is an ambassador for Aanchal Women's Aid which helps support women to rebuild their lives after abuse. Allowing her to use her first-hand experience positively to help inspire others to overcome being in a volatile relationship.

It is so vital that we keep raising awareness around this really serious subject and get different guests' perspectives and their own experiences around Domestic Abuse.  For example, Gi escaped an abusive and coercive relationship after several years.  She fled with her daughter and is now making an incredible life herself as a property developer, poet and author.

“If I could change one life or help one person to take that first step of coming out of a toxic domestic relationship, that would mean the world to me”.  - Gi Dhanoa
