“I suffered through over 25 years of emotional, spiritual and verbal abuse. And in listening to your podcast it has helped give me the courage to leave.

“I searched all over for a podcast on abuse after leaving my abuser. There isn’t much out there that isn’t self-promoting in terms of mandatory workshops, etc. This isn’t one of those podcasts. This podcast delves deep into abuse and the various aspects of abuse (physical, verbal, financial). The...”Read full review »
