In this episode 6 we welcome guest Lindsay Douglas & hear her empowering story of courage bravery & overcoming abuse & making one of the hardest choices of her life . " My name is Lindsay Douglas and I’m a 35 neurodivergent non-binary indigenous person living in Oklahoma City. I work doing technical support for a major wireless carrier. In my spare time I love to do acrylic painting, practice sketching, listen to music, cook, practice yoga, study cybersecurity and computer science topics, use cannabis, take hikes with my partner, Steven, and I love a good story either through TV, movies, graphic novels, novels, or podcasts! I’m an outspoken recovering addict and domestic violence survivor. I share my story to help other people who may be caught in the grips of intimate partner violence especially those at higher risk including AFAB people, women, BIPOC, neurodivergent people, and children. My painful experience with coercive control, family scapegoat syndrome, emotional incest, and ultimately domestic violence has led me to make some interesting and deeply meaningful friendships and I’m grateful to have met Maralen and LaTresha on this earthside journey!
