TRIGGER WARNING: Victim blaming, sexual assault, domestic violence  Let me be your breakup buddy! Get direct access to my calendar here to schedule a FREE consultation. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month I am re-dropping a VERY important episode that I did last year with one of my closest friends and fellow survivor Christine Lalonde on the ongoing abuse that is *victim blaming.” Victim blaming is the act of trying to convince a victim and the people around them that they caused and therefore deserved the abuse they encountered. It is not only determental to a person's healing, it can cause them to replay the same patterns, and it allows violence in society to continue because we put attention on the victim rather than the source. Victim blaming needs to stop. As part of the Breakups, Broken Hearts, and Moving On commitment to Domestic Violence Awareness Month I am partnering up with my good friend Christine to talk about the victim blaming that we have experienced, the impacts it had on our life, and how YOU can become part of the solution instead of the problem.

Did you know that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month? I hope you will join me to use the remaining weeks as a chance to educate yourself, spread awareness, advocate, and create visibility for this often under-discussed societal issue.  ⁠Donate to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/⁠ Domestic violence (also known as intimate partner violence, battering, or spouse abuse) is a pattern of abusive behavior used in a relationship to gain control and power over an intimate partner. It happens to everyone across race, gender, socioeconomic status, education, and sexual orientation. Every minute, roughly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. Every year in the United States, more than 10 million women and men become victims of domestic violence.  More women lose their lives to intimate partner violence than any other means. In the U.S. alone,⁠ more than 55 percent⁠ of murdered women are killed in relation to intimate partner violence. Nearly one million women have been shot by an intimate partner and have survived. Nearly 1 in 10 women (9.4%) in the US have been raped by an intimate partner in their lifetime. It is a persistent issue that finds victims feeling powerless and without means of support or escape. Most female victims of intimate partner violence were previously victimized by the same offender at rates of 77% for women ages 18 to 24, 76% for ages 25 to 34, and 81% for ages 35 to 49. Domestic violence continues to go unnoticed by many because it is underreported with only 52% of victims reporting the crime to the police in 2019. Sources: ⁠https://ncadv.org/⁠ ⁠https://www.thehotline.org/stakeholders/domestic-violence-statistics/⁠ ⁠https://www.dolanzimmerman.com/domestic-violence-statistics/⁠ What you can do this month to support victims and survivors:  Educate yourself. Read up on the issue. Share what you learn with others. Post on social media. Be brave. Be bold.  Learn about what to do if someone comes to you for support. I will drop a separate mini-sode on this issue.  Make a donation to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. You can visit them at https://ncadv.org/ and using the link in the show notes.  Don't just consume true crime for entertainment. A lot of the stories portrayed in our favorite documentaries and podcasts are sad examples of the terror that a lot of women around the country are faced with daily. Share what you consume and talk about the content and the stories with friends and on social media. Again, be brave.  Commit to sharing content on the topic all year long.  Thank you for listening. Please keep following my podcasts as I will be dropping more content through the month.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/breakupspod/support

Each person is different, each relationship is different, each breakup is different, and therefore each healing journey takes its own path. I am constantly seeing different ways that people do things and the results.  What I learn helps to inform my ever-growing breakup coaching practice and continue to add more support to people who are struggling with a broken heart. My clients are strong, brave people. Each time one of them reaches out for support the first time it is heart-warming. Each time one of them hires me it is an honor. And each time I see them step into the unknown for the sake of their healing it is a gift to witness.  Today I am sharing five things I have learned from my clients:  -Faith in the process leads to the most long-term results  -Long-term no-contact WORKS -It is possible to turn things completely around/break habits -Solo time is empowering  -Scheduling in time for projects WORKS Want to connect?

Let me be your breakup buddy! Get direct access to my calendar here to schedule a FREE consultation. Ready to put your breakup behind you? It may be time to examine your beliefs around your ex, your efforts, relationships, and breakups in general. It's time to accept some hard truths.  Hard truths can be confronting - but it is often the things that we find confronting that lead us to the most growth. Today's episode covers 5 of the most important of these truths.  Get ready - this might be the episode that finally changes things with your breakup.  Episodes mentioned:  163: MY recent breakup lessons Resources from this episode:  Thought Catalog: Hate to Break It To You But There is No Such Thing as “The One.”  Quotes from this episode:  “Holding fast to ideas about how unfortunate our breakup is and how much we need or want our ex keep us holding on fast to the past.”  “No relationships end because they are working so well and serving both people. It was imperative that this breakup happen so that you could both go on to happier lives and better relationships in the future.” “You already have everything that you need to be happy and whole right inside of you.”   “The idea that there is “the one” or a “soulmate” for us is destructive. It leads people to make poor decisions and to stay in unhealthy relationships. It prevents people from being their own soulmates and investing in building a life that is rich with or without a partner.” “The more honest you can be with yourself and the more responsibility you can take over your healing the more success you will have.”   Want to connect?
