Emily (@mama_wilder) is a mother of three and founder of the non-profit for under-resourced women, The Mama Wilder Foundation. She shares her personal story of her first marriage, how the abusive dynamics mimicked aspects of her childhood, the importance of being aware of resources available for single mothers, signs of financial abuse, shedding the lineage shame of being a single mother, how many of our systems do not in fact keep us safe, the story of representing herself in a horrific three year long family court case, and the beauty of starting over, again and again.
