This topic is not a new one, but one that continues behind many closed doors and is far more common than you think.

In this episode I am joined by Christine Fry, a domestic abuse survivor who now helps other women who have found the courage to leave their abusers, to begin their life again on the other side. Christine speaks to the support victims need after they have left their abusive situation - to paraphrase, the abuse isn't over just because they leave, the hardest work begins when once they're out.

In this conversation, we discuss what domestic abuse can look like, how insidious it can be, and the feelings of blame, guilt and shame felt by those who have become victims - many not realizing that they are themselves victims of domestic abuse.

Christine Fry, a compassionate Certified Life Coach and founder of Purple Petals Coaching, is dedicated to empowering women who have experienced trauma and domestic violence. Drawing from her own personal journey as a trauma survivor inspired her to earn her Life Coach Certification. Through her Instagram content and the Durable Podcast, she provides a safe space to find inspiration and insights. Currently, she's working on a book, a compilation of quotes and stories aimed at empowering women who have experienced trauma and their children, with the goal of reaching a wider audience and providing strength to those affected by trauma and domestic violence.

To connect with Christine you can find her on Instagram at @purplepetals_coaching or on the website purplepetalscoaching.ca
