TW: Sexual assault

Grace and I talk all things, sexual assault within a romantic partnership, drug abuse, toxic loyalty, and more. We navigate the realms of "slow grow" manipulation that leaves many women with the whiplash from abuse. WE DIVE DEEP into sexual coercion, rape within a romantic relationship and how that manifested in abuse. This conversation we touch on a variety of topics such as toxic loyalty, abandoning self, and more. Stay awake for Part 2 coming in the next days.

Often we feel as though abuse is a one and done. As if we'd done our due diligence and are exempt from any further negative relationship. But in the navigating, I've learned that just because something is safe doesn't mean it's healthy. Without learning how to listen to our bodies we won't know how to honor it. And in the dishonoring we often find ourselves in repetitive circumstances that make it feel impossible to know if what we're encountering is our past trauma or present intuition. And while I'd wish to never have to record another story as such, it's a piece of my story that is to be kept in this space. Because one encounter does not make you immune, and your story or stories - matter. 

An episode where I dive deep with my good friend Serena Baney. She shares her abuse story how emotional and psychological abuse IS abuse. From gaslighting, cheating, deception, stonewalling, and more.

I had the opportunity to interview guest Kelly Weber, trauma certified Somatic massage therapist and Fitness coach. This episode I sat with covid (ha) and Kelly as we dive deep into her story. It's unique as we touch on the correlation between our upbringing and the interwoven impact it has on our romantic relationships as adults. Beginning with her childhood Kelly navigates abandonment issues, substance abuse, familial abuse and more. We navigate her youth as a teen mom and adoption. As we travel alongside her story we're invited into the traumatic abuse she endured that nearly took her and her child's life. This complex story will leave you moved by a resilient woman who has and is breaking Generational cycles for herself and her daughter.
