Domestic violence does not discriminate. If you’ve ever wondered how someone like you ended up in a relationship where you’re not being treated the way you should, or why someone you know doesn’t acknowledge the red flags in their own relationship, we have some answers for you.

In this riveting episode with our special guest, Empathy and Resilience Expert - Dr. Dwayne Buckingham, he candidly explains how Domestic Violence can affect women at every level. The fact that you’re a CEO, a stay at home Mom, a “nice” person, or a good catch, does not mean that you’re immune to this issue.

And shaming another person who is dealing with this, and already struggling emotionally, does not make it any easier for them to seek help. Stigma has kept us quiet for long enough.

If this issue affects you, get help. If it affects someone you know, share this episode with them. And if you have moved on from a relationship where Domestic Violence was an issue, you are survivor, as I am. Keep moving forward, stay up and stay blessed 🙌🏽. —Charmaine Lomax
