In this episode, I had a lovely chat with Gina Blundell about the amazing work she is doing to help women move forward after long-term abusive marriages. She shared with me her story of leaving her narcissistic ex-husband after nearly 30 years of marriage and how she turned her pain into passion to help others move forward.

In this episode, I had a very lively and heartfelt conversation with Amy Frame. Amy shared her story of freeing herself from an abusive marriage, moving across the country, finding the love of her life, and how her own healing journey lead to her helping other women travel through their healing too.

At the age of 18, Amy Frame joined the military and left for basic training on Sept 18th, 2001. She spent one year overseas in Iraq, where she met her partner for the next nine years.  This relationship was Co-dependent and completely unhealthy. Amy learned this model from her mother. After nine years of increasing abuse from both sides, she left after he threatened her life. 

It took years for Amy to heal from the pain of that experience, and along the way, a whole new identity emerged.  She was an Emergency room Nurse by the time the relationship came to an end and Amy packed up everything she owned, quit her job, and moved back home.  Then she spent a total of 12 years as a bedside nurse. Two years ago, Amy stepped away from bedside nursing and created a practice where now she works on healing souls.

Over the years, Amy has learned two things, Life is short, and healing begins with the soul, not the body. It is here that she created her Coaching Practice. Now she spends her days working with individuals whose wounds cannot always be seen.  Amy says, "It’s the most impactful work I have ever been called to do."

In this episode, I sat down for a very open and heartfelt conversation with Maurice about the healing journey after trauma. As all my episodes do, this conversation travels down a path of discussing self-care, love, and how Maurice is helping people move away from the excuses which keep us bound to our past. 

Facing a crossroads, Maurice F. Martin chose a path less traveled, the life-changing journey of healing, growth, and purpose. His second book, Your But is Too Big: 7 Principles That Empower You To Heal Past Hurts and Get Motivated to Find Purpose was written to help you heal your past wounds, discover who you really are, and live a peaceful, purpose-driven life. Maurice has been through his fair share of trauma - from masking the private pain of his childhood to battling depression in his 20s.

Now that he’s healed, Maurice is on a mission to equip and empower you to release your limiting beliefs and become the person you were born to be.

In this episode, I sat down with Katie Lain to talk about how domestic violence and addiction often go hand in hand. To escape the devastating realities of her home life, Katie found herself turning to alcohol more and more finding herself hopelessly addicted. Even after she freed herself from her abuser, the addiction remained but not forever.  Listen with me as Katie shares her story of how she found her own way to thrive after abuse and addiction. 

Katie Lain struggled with alcohol addiction for almost 10 years – cycling in and out of periods of abstinence and relapse. She desperately wanted to fix her drinking problem, but couldn’t figure out how. But in 2017, she finally escaped this cycle when she learned about a medication-assisted treatment for alcohol dependence called The Sinclair Method (TSM).TSM is a clinically-proven treatment for alcohol addiction discovered in the 1990s and helps people reduce heavy drinking and eliminate alcohol cravings over time. Katie gradually reduced her drinking through this method, to the point of going completely (and accidentally) alcohol-free one year after she started. She now runs Thrive Alcohol Recovery where she offers a comprehensive program for The Sinclair Method, and she also serves as an advocate for this method – reaching thousands of people through her social media channels.
