You’ll never unravel me, because only I can unravel me. I am a single mom who decided to leave an abusive relationship with an alcoholic one year ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my life. I never wanted to raise a child alone, but here I am. I share my life stories and experiences on how I ended up right where I am today. I hope my story inspires and encourages other women to never settle when they’re not happy even when it gets hard.

    Summer Break

    I didn't want to leave you hanging for the summer. I just wanted to do a quick life check. For you and for me. I'm hoping to return in the fall, but we'll just have to see what this season brings. I haven't shared much of my private life lately because I wanted to shine light on others who have experienced trauma in some way and have still become successful. They have also found their purpose. It is equally as important for you to find yours, too. I thank you for tuning in this season. I pray you learned something about strength, courage, forgiveness, hope, and love. Feel free to share this with anyone you know who might need some inspiration today. Whatever you choose, just know I support you in your healing journey, where ever that may be, I'm always here if you need help. Love and hugs!   Music: Ipanema by kantubeats x Late Night Instrumental by episodicbeats

    You’re Not Crazy with Jeanette Menter

    Born in Germany, raised in the Midwest, Jeanette began writing for pay at the age of 16. After high school she went on to college hoping to become a journalist but that didn’t work out due to being involved with an abusive man. This eventually made her decide to buy a one way train ticket to California. She eventually married, had two beautiful daughters but, after twelve years, she divorced. In the years to follow she met a terrific man, and they married in 1993.   Along the way, she began a real estate career, worked for various marketing companies but never felt satisfied. A decision for them to move back to the Midwest, for family reasons, opened doors for her to begin her first love, writing, again. She wrote a weekly column in a newspaper, made regular contributions for two magazines, and even got her degree in Communications at 54. That is also the time she began writing her book, “You’re Not Crazy - You’re Codependent”.   In the midst of life, she continues her search to becoming her best self, healing from past hurts and living authentically.   In this episode, you guessed it, we talk about codependency. We delve into why it occurs, what happens when it goes unchecked, and how to move past it. Jeanette should be an inspiration for all of us to heal. There's absolutely no reason why you can't. We'll likely have codependent tendencies for the rest of our lives, but that doesn't mean we have to give in.    If you enjoyed this episode and you're ready to begin your journey to living a peace life, check out Jeanette's book on Amazon.    https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Not-Crazy-Codependent-Addiction/dp/0615533469/ref=asc_df_0615533469/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312695266310&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8188502122676120413&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016919&hvtargid=pla-570674447160&psc=1   Blog: https://codependencycentral.blogspot.com    Intro and Outro Music: Sleepless by Fame J  https://www.beatstars.com/beat/sleepless-lofi-x-jazzhop-type-beat-10640443

    Caged is the true never-before-told other side of an international, headline story that captivated audiences around the world in 2015.

    Healing from Your Mother’s Abuse with Leann Evans

    In this episode I speak with life coach Leann Evans about her experience with narcissistic abuse. We discuss techniques she uses to cope, what she's learned about herself, how she's managed to go no contact with her mother, and how healing herself has had an amazingly, positive impact on her relationship with her children. Narcissism is often talked about in today's society, but it's hardly understood because most narcissists will never get diagnosed with the personality disorder. However, the more we share our experiences, the better we will understand. I hope you learn as much as I did!   Contact Ms. Leann: Email: info@leannevanscoaching.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/donm.isurvived/  IG: @donm.isurvived    Intro & Outro beat: Thinking of you by Zver https://www.beatstars.com/beat/thinking-of-you-6751174

    Happy Birthday Jesus!

    Hey yall! Just wanted to give you a little of my spiritual wisdom before my next interview drops. I'm laughing because I don't believe I possess any spiritual wisdom, but I might. Praise God, because I definitely have the Holy Ghost.   In this episode, I talk about how I've come to terms with my sin, how in the world I still remain calm co-parenting with my ex-abuser, and how I cope with the holidays after my family has been torn apart. Literally. Scripture is the only answer for me.    Co-parenting videos I reference in the episode: Tips for Co-Parenting with a Narcissist or Difficult Person Stephanie Lyn Coaching https://youtu.be/yB66HZKWX_I  Co-parenting with a Narcissist Dr. Ramani Durvasula https://youtu.be/AHL_A0kodlY    Online Support Groups: Domestic Abuse Support Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1032485490166320/   Domestic Violence Support Group for Women https://www.facebook.com/groups/560772291129322   Single Parent Sanity  https://www.facebook.com/groups/SingleParentSanity    Music: Posthumous Production x Reyo Beats

    You Are Not Your Trauma with Trauma Queen Christy

    In this episode I talk with Behavioral Health Therapist from Oregon, Christy Collins, aka Trauma Queen Christy, about how life can be interesting yet difficult. I know everything happens for a reason, but your childhood can seriously mold the person you were called to be. We talk about the different kinds of therapy, how trauma can impact each person differently, why everyone needs therapy, and how to use your story to change the lives of others.

À propos

You’ll never unravel me, because only I can unravel me. I am a single mom who decided to leave an abusive relationship with an alcoholic one year ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my life. I never wanted to raise a child alone, but here I am. I share my life stories and experiences on how I ended up right where I am today. I hope my story inspires and encourages other women to never settle when they’re not happy even when it gets hard.
