Welcome to the Laura’s House Podcast series. In this installment of our series, we will be speaking with Adriane Nada, a Domestic Violence Clinical Educator here at Laura’s House about the definition of love, and how it relates to domestic violence issues.

How can one trust love in the future when it has been so deceptive in the past?
