There are often events throughout our lives that shake us to our core. Past relationships which are unhealthy with harmful patterns can push us to the limit. Unfortunately Debbie Griffiths was driven to her peak after experiencing domestic violence for over 17 years. At 63, she feels like her life is just beginning. She has now published a book to help others and come through stronger, healed by taking one step and a time and rebuilding a life worth living. Listen in as Holly and Debbie discuss:

  • How everything that has happened has brought her to this point.  Each stepping stone prepared for the next step, including twists and turns and the whole nine yards. Accepting responsibility and moving forward.

  • Getting better at speaking up for what we need. How her suicide attempt opened her eyes to make a change to her life and how it took a while to understand and recognize what was happening.

  • Giving back to others. Bringing awareness to others to help them recogize the signs and learning how to take care of ourselves.

  • The important basic human need to be loved and to love in return. How we are not made to stay stuck. The opportunity in the third half of life to ask what it is we want to do.
