    Domestic Violence Doesn't Discriminate - I am 1 in 4

    SPECIAL EPISODE: While recording my prior episode with Dr. Ucheoma-Cofield, we got personal when we hit the topic of domestic violence. Visiting with my dear friend from medical school, I found it easy to share my own story about abuse, how I immediately felt like it was my job to help the person who abused me, and the shame I felt after it all happened. If you can take three things away from this, I want you to know: 1) No one enters a relationship thinking that they will be abused.  2) Talking about abuse is not easy.  3) Any shame or blame does NOT belong to the person who was hurt. If you or someone you know needs support, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). I’m grateful to Dr. Ucheoma for being willing to have these difficult conversations with me. These are conversations that deserve to be talked about openly, with compassion and without judgment.
