Sally opens up to her daughter Brigid about her past experience with domestic violence, and how she has learned to cope with the anxiety. By sharing her truth and her decades of experience as a midwife she hopes to reach and help educate more women around the world.
We do not claim to be experts on the topic of DV, all stories shared are solely Sally's bleedin' truth. If you, or someone you know is suffering, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 for 24/7 services.
