HERE with Felicia Conner

This is part two of my conversation with Joanna, creator of The Relentless Project: a visual art medium (shared through the instagram account RelentlessJoanna), and a podcast titled “The Relentless Project.”

We continue with the rest of her journey surviving CSA (child sexual abuse), how she has healed, what parents need to know, and how she is giving space for others who have a similar journey and need to know they are not alone.

Join me in honoring Joanna by listening and learning from her experience. If at any point in the episode you become triggered, please practice self care and stop the episode.

It was an honor talking with Jennifer Reed who is a mother, wife and caregiver to her Navy veteran husband, podcaster listed as top 50 mom podcasters in Podcast Magazine, AND a 2020 Elizabeth Dole Fellow for the state of Arkansas!

She is an amazing woman who has overcome domestic abuse and childhood emotional trauma and has dedicated her life to shedding light on women and moms going through different seasons of life and making the normal struggles we all go through normal and not something to be ashamed or embarrassed about.  She is also a huge supporter and advocate for childhood ADHD, domestic violence survivors, and caregivers for veterans.
