Dana's passage through DePaul University and her lifelong mission to help children of abuse underscore the cathartic journey from victimhood to finding one's voice and purpose in the most arduous circumstances.The episode culminates in a robust discussion on the misconceptions shadowing narcissistic abuse advocacy.
