SAGE Advice

Aimee met John soon after her divorce at a local market. He was charming and she felt like someone finally saw her! But their relationship became physically abusive fairly quickly. Today Aimee talks about her experience and when she decided to choose herself and determine her own future!

Alexis met her older ex-girlfriend online and things moved fast. The relationship started off great but after awhile Alexis started losing herself...even her NAME!! She was being stripped of her identity but Alexis fought for herself and now wants to help others by sharing her story. Listen now!

Life rarely changes when you want it to but then (when it's time) everything shifts at the flip of a switch. Things are changing for me and I want to tell you all about it!!

In the midst of an abusive marriage, Tina began having a recurring dream. Every night an image would come to her, an image she dubbed 'Mother Mary,' who told her to make a rosary. Confused at first, eventually Tina decided to listen and began making rosaries. What she found was so much bigger and more important than rosary beads, she found calm in the storm of chaos. Listen to Tina tell her incredible story of reinvention and resilience. Finding the quiet allowed her to follow a new path of healing and a new career helping others who suffer the effects of trauma. You can find Tina at solacemassage.com

Meet Janna, creator of WomanDetermined.com, abuse survivor and champion for others. Janna and I sit down to learn a little more about her story and the struggles we all face. After losing her father, Janna took stock of her life and realized she deserved to be treated better. However, as a stay at home mom she had little idea of where to turn. She fought every step of the way to heal herself and make sure she was financially secure. We had a great conversation and hope you enjoy.

Before you skip this topic, I'd encourage you to listen. IPV stands for Intimate Parter Violence. It is a hard enough topic to cover alone but when adding pregnancy to the mix it can be very hard to comprehend. But-ITS HAPPENING. It happens all the time. We have to learn to listen to the hard stuff and educate ourselves so that we can help someone in need should they ever need it. Lola does a great job with giving personal experience and information so that we can all learn and spread the message. If this episode reaches just one person in need, it would have been worth it. Please listen.

On page 3 of her new book, Margaret Josephs describes how her father shot at her mother-on a date-after she left their abusive marriage. Right then I knew then it was going to be an interesting episode! Margaret is not only a celebrity, she is also an extremely successful entrepreneur, an author (Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget 2021) and has been through abusive relationships herself. She was so excited to come on and talk to you and we at SAGE were so excited to have her. Please enjoy this very entertaining episode of SAGE Advice.
