Ep. 11 WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS….Mixing it up this week with another not-Ottawa guest! While I was in PEI, I sat down with Maria to talk about what it means when your very first romantic relationship is an abusive one. We touch on some heavy stuff: the post-traumatic symptoms and long term effects, but also rebuilding trust in relationships, self-empowerment and BEYONCE! A TW: this episode discusses issues relating to abuse and post-traumatic stress.
