IN this episode, we talked about her past as a survivor of domestic abuse, not only how her ex-husband left her with nothing but also how the judge treated her unfairly. Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour used to gain power and control over another person. It can involve physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, or psychological abuse. Common signs include fear of a partner, isolation, low self-esteem, and unexplained injuries.

If you’re experiencing abuse:

1. Reach out to trusted people or organizations.
2. Call a domestic violence hotline (e.g., in the U.S.: 1-800-799-SAFE).
3. Create a safety plan to leave safely.
4. Seek professional support.

Abuse is never your fault, and help is available. If in immediate danger, call emergency services. She also mentioned the people who helped her along the way and how that helped her to shape herself slowly but surely into the woman she is now.

Jim Kwik made an acronym to learn anything Kwikly (pun intended), F.A.S.T., where the F stands for "Forget." IN this episode, that was the recurring theme: to forget what we've learned in our limited sex education in school and to be able to be active in our sex lives, since that is what the A stands for. We talked about how, ironically, even if we are pack animals, we want our sexual partners to ourselves. Therefore, polygamy was a thing before monogamy, but it's not as accepted, so we talked about how to make it more acceptable without seeing it as cheating on your partner.

IN this episode, we talked about her bouncing back from both her strokes and managing her anxiety and depression, which feels like being trapped in a constant cycle of worry and sadness. Anxiety keeps your mind racing with fears and "what-ifs," while depression drains your energy, motivation, and joy. It’s a mix of feeling overwhelmed yet empty, restless yet exhausted. Small tasks feel impossible, and social interactions can feel like a burden. It’s isolating and exhausting, but with the right support, therapy, or coping strategies, it can be managed. We also touched on how certain life events could build up your resilience and the benefits of having and sticking to a routine. She gave ten mental health tips to implement in our lives.

IN this episode, we talked about how it feels to live with anxiety. Physically, it can cause restlessness, fatigue, or a racing heart. Mentally, it brings overthinking, "what-ifs," and difficulty concentrating. Emotionally, it creates unease, irritability, and a disconnect from joy. Socially, it may lead to avoidance and excessive worry about others’ opinions. It's exhausting but manageable with therapy, mindfulness, or support systems. As well as what it takes to shift your mindset to eventually overcome it and be able to take risks, which is something important in the world of entrepreneurs.
