A day that changed Mariah's life forever. A mother who had finalized her divorce from her narcissistic and controlling ex-husband, waiting to close on her new home, and freedom and happiness on the horizon for her and her 4 children. Until April 10th, 2023. Her ex-husband came into her home, holding her at gun point with a plan to murder her and the children. With a mother's fierceness to survive, and tenacity to endure the worst trauma that day I sit down with Mariah to share her story. To remember her daughter Willow, and to help share her domestic violence story to help even just one individual understand their own strength and courage to leave.
