Episode 10
Do you find yourself constantly in fear in your relationship? I was, and it was my normal for 22 years. I was used to it and didn't even question it. I also didn't have the words to describe what I was going through, which made it even harder for me to understand the situation I was in. Join me in today's episode as I talk about my "normal" and how I learned to handle it.
