Trigger Warning: Abuse/TraumaThis is hands down the most difficult episode of Strong Friend Check In that I've ever recorded. I haven't been this nervous putting out an episode since my very first one. But I sincerely hope my story reaches someone who needs it.On this episode, I finally, fully discuss what happened to me in my last relationship. If you're a survivor of abuse, just a heads up, this episode may be hard to listen to. Do what's best for you and skip it if you need to.For the rest of those listening, I didn't create this episode for click-bait. I felt like I had no choice but to be completely honest about my journey and the ways in which I've been affected by this trauma.I thank you guys for listening and supporting me thus far. I hope that you'll continue to support me well after this episode.
