If you or someone you care about is experiencing domestic abuse, please know there are places you can turn to for assistance listed at the end of these show notes.    Today on the podcast I have my beautiful and very brave friend Lucy Kuper sharing her story in honor of Domestic & Family Violence awareness month. It is so important that we have these conversations and understand that domestic violence can come in many different forms.    When survivors like Lucy bravely share their stories, it really shines a light on the reality of domestic violence, helping us understand its devastating impact and the importance of supporting survivors.    Sharing her story isn't just about Lucy—it's about all the Lucys out there who deserve to be heard, believed, and supported.    It's about breaking the silence and stigma surrounding domestic violence, empowering survivors to reclaim their voices and their lives. And ultimately, it's about creating a world where domestic violence is not tolerated, where survivors are embraced with compassion, and where everyone feels safe and respected in their relationships.   In Australia, if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, there are several organizations and helplines available to provide support:   1800RESPECT: National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service.

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence estimates that nearly 20 people in America are physically abused by their partners every minute. This equates to 10 million women and men every year. It can be difficult to wrap your head around numbers like this but these statistics prove that domestic violence is a real and prevalent issue. In fact, intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crimes in the country. For victims, self-degradation and shame spurred by the abuse can make leaving seem just as difficult as staying.In today's episode, I speak with Amanda (A.E.) Lee who, in a captivating and moving account, talks about her experience of being in an abusive relationship with her ex-husband, and what it was that finally gave her the courage to leave. She also discusses the aftermath of leaving and how she was able to move forward and never look back.Tune in to Episode 172 of REJUVENAGING® with domestic violence survivor, Amanda Lee.Some Questions I Ask:What enabled you to ultimately break that pattern and leave?

Or was there any second thinking about it? (13:27)What motivated you to write the book? (16:43)What's the book about?

Canadian Visual Artist Roxanne Willems was raised in a fundamentalist religious community that taught her her value in life was limited to serving her husband and children.She joins us today for a brave conversation about how with 4 young children, she found the courage to leave her family and community, how they ostracized her for it. She tells us about how she ended up falling into a violent second marriage on the heels of that and how she ultimately set herself free from the limiting beliefs that had been the only thing keeping her prisoner all along. Whether we believe we have enough or not, truly comes down to what we think - our thoughts are so powerful. Our mindset can be the difference between happiness and misery, joy or suffering. And so much of our mindset is inherited from the world around us which, unfortunately, is brimming with toxic limiting beliefs when it comes to things like what is possible for our lives, forgiveness, self worth, creativity,  happiness, abundance, love & joy in favor of damaging, paralyzing beliefs that center around fear, power, and survival. It is possible though to break through the shell of our limiting beliefs to create something that is based on trust, fulfillment, generosity, joy, intuition and creativity.  Roxanne worked hard to rewire her brain after years of being taught her life was only for serving others. Shares the thing she had to let go of that not only saved her life but led her to create a thriving career as an artist and a life that is filled with genuine abundance and happiness.  WHAT WE TALK ABOUT-Developing a deep trust with the universe-Everything in the universe is in a constant state of being primed for healing-How she rewired her brain, neutralizing limiting beliefs that were the root cause of her minimizing herself-Recognizing, examining and neutralizing harmful limiting beliefs (and how she did that)-Real talk about the inevitable pitfalls along any transformative journey (and how to deal with them) -Learning to live from a place of grounded trust as opposed to fear, flight, flight and freeze-What she had to let go of to truly step into a place of joyful curiosity that not only saved her life but led her into a life with a thriving career as a full time artist. visit the show notes page on KateShepherd Creative.com for moreRESOURCESRecovering from fundamentalist religionsDomestic Violence Resources CanadaViolence against womenMennoniteMelody Beattie Codependent no moreResources for Co-dependencyReiki

You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. On this episode, we discuss a very serious topic with a very special guest. Our special guest is Tameshia Sexton, the CEO of Mesh Dollhouse. She shares her experiences with domestic violence, how she got through, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

“Break the cycle of abuse - Don't believe you are trapped, you are stronger than you think.”E'ala decided to break her silence after 3 women she personally knew were murdered by their boyfriends. Ashley Perala, Nadine Cavalier, and Gabby Petito. She is hoping  by sharing this story, it could help someone else who might be in that position right now.E'ala has escaped three abusive relationships throughout her life. At 15, she was in a relationship with an older man  who was a drug addict and physically abused her. Even when she found the courage to leave, he lured her back in. Her life took a turn when her mom was diagnosed with cancer. It led to a long-distance move ultimatley ending one abusive relationship and sadly beginning a new one. E'ala's story is one of resilience and hope, showing that despite being in an abusive pattern, it is possible to break it and find a loving and supportive relationship. She wants to share her story and resources to help others find the strength to leave abusive situations and save their lives. Today we discuss:1. E'ala's experience2. What are the signs of an abusive relationship that victims should look for?3. What is isolation and gaslighting?4. How did E'ala break the cycle of abusive relationships and end up in a loving, supportive one?5. How can victims of domestic violence protect themselves from predators and abusers?"The devil doesn't come with horns and a pitchfork. He comes dressed as everything you've ever wanted." ~E'alaBrevard County, FL resources:https://ineedblue.net/community-resources-1National hotlines:https://ineedblue.net/national-hotlinesStay safe tips:https://ineedblue.net/stay-safe-1Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ineedbluepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/needbluepodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1q8SfA_hEXRJ4EaizlW8QWebsite: https://ineedblue.net/Loved this episode?

Today I'm talking with Donna Wayles, a wife, mother, and abuse survivor who shares her story of escaping domestic abuse with God's love and grace. She's the author of “I'll Pray for You: A Christian Woman's Guide to Surviving Domestic Violence” and a self-described domestic violence subject expert. Today, she is here to speak loud about being a thriver after domestic abuse and finding life and hope after abuse.Donna met her abuser through a church picnic when she was in her early 20s. She describes that the pressure from the church encouraged her to get married early and young, within 7 months of meeting her then-husband. Though she had been sensitive to the physical abuse he began to demonstrate, she interpreted his controlling behaviors as ‘protectiveness' and being a sign of how much he loved her. As the abuse escalated, however, Donna began reaching out to different avenues for support. Another wife from church dismissed her concerns about her husband's possessiveness and talking with her pastor only put her in more danger after the pastor talked with Donna's husband privately. One night after a conference, Donna was calling a friend for help when her abuser physically threw her out of the house with her 16-month-old daughter and the clothes on her back. Donna, at the time, struggled to understand what she had done wrong, having followed the teachings of her family and her faith. The first line in her book, “How did my life get to be like this?” reflected this. However, she had to eventually learn—through counseling and other modalities—that the abuse she had undergone was not a reflection of herself but of her abuser. Realizing this was the beginning of her healing journey. One night, while pondering what to make for dinner, Donna realized that she could eat whatever she wanted. She could wear and do whatever she wanted as an individual without worrying about what he wanted. She felt like a second life had just dawned on her and she was determined to live that life. She is now remarried and her daughter, 18, is thriving in school studying graphic art. Donna's book, “I'll Pray For You,” was inspired by her domestic violence victim advocate who told her, “The best revenge to your abuser is living well.” Donna published her own story as a way to be her best self and also do for others what wasn't done for her. She describes her process with forgiveness as not a one-time decision, but a journey. She's learned that bitterness won't serve her and has found peace in using her experience to help others. “Resilience is stubbornness, persistence, tenacity,” Donna says. Being determined to live her own life helped pull her out of those dark times. As someone raised to help others, she wishes she could have told her past self to be patient and to put herself first before trying to give herself away to others. She hopes readers of her book and listeners know that leaving an abusive situation is not the end and, in fact, there is something much better on the other side. Listen in to learn more about what modalities Donna used in her healing journey, what makes her feel empowered, and her experience with self-esteem and abuse. Resources MentionedJoin Me on Speak Loud PlatformSpeak Loud Podcast on the webConnect with Donna on her websiteSpread the message of Speak Loudly Podcast and share this episode with a friend!Please review our podcast disclaimer on our website

She was raised  by narcissistic parents that sent her off to her grandmother at a young age.  After a horrible break up with what she was her true love. She met a man that on paper was everything a girl could ask for. Her boyfriend began Love Bombing her early on in the relationship.

Thankfully, she  got away, and rescued her young daughter.  Victoria has  used this pain and trauma to help others.
