    Surviving Abuse

    Today’s episode is one that carries weight, courage, and truth. We’re talking about surviving abuse — the realities people face behind closed doors, and the strength it takes not only to endure it, but to speak about it, heal from it, and reclaim your life. This conversation isn’t about graphic details or shock value. It’s about understanding. It’s about breaking silence. And it’s about honoring the resilience of survivors who’ve had to navigate manipulation, fear, and pain that no one should ever have to experience. Whether you’re a survivor yourself, you’re supporting someone you care about, or you simply want to learn, this space is here to offer insight, validation, and resources. You are not alone, and your story — whatever it looks like — matters. Now, let’s begin this important conversation — with our guest, Ms. Tamika Powell, a survivor who has committed her life story to help others who face similar challenges. Before we begin, a gentle note: this episode may be emotionally difficult for some listeners. Please take care of yourself, pause when you need to, and reach out to a trusted friend, support hotline, or a professional if anything we discuss brings up heavy feelings.
