Transcribe →Bonus: I Ran Into My Abusive Ex
3d ago00:27:34Tap to summarizeWow... the adrenaline is strong in this episode... Instead of giving you the episode I had planned, life decided to throw me a sucker punch and sit me kitty corner away from my abusive ex that I hadn't seen in thirteen years, so you'll be hearing a rant about that experience instead. This little bonus episode is for everyone out there who has ever felt powerless and afraid against an abuser. Remember, like Glinda from the Wizard of Oz said, "You’ve always had the Power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
