In this episode of the “My Story” Podcast, we are joined by Telina who shares with us her experience of Domestic Violence. We both agreed that this can sometimes be an uncomfortable conversation, however, it is an important one.
Telina is a survivor of an attack from her ex-partner, an event which brought her to within an inch of her life. We discuss losing yourself for the sake of another, recognising red-flags, seeking professional advice and the importance of inner purpose. We also talked about the societal perceptions of DV and how we can change the stigma against victims of abuse. This episode is a little longer than usual but an important story to share.
