Trigger warning: This episode mentions acts of domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised.
In honor of October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I'm dedicating this long overdue solo episode to a topic that hits close to home for me and so many others.
DVAM is all about raising awareness, supporting survivors, and highlighting the resources out there for anyone who needs them.
So, in this solo episode, I’m diving into Worst Ex Ever, the new Netflix documentary series that sheds light on intimate partner violence.
As a survivor myself, I’m sharing my own experience and why raising awareness about this is so important.
I’ll also break down some key takeaways from the documentary, like red flags to watch out for in relationships, the issues with the justice system when it comes to protecting victims, and how unresolved childhood trauma plays a role.
Most importantly, I’m stressing the need to prioritize your safety and well-being, and why it’s so crucial to leave toxic and abusive situations.
*Note: If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Call the 24/7 National Domestic Violence Hotline @ 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.
