Imperfectly Phenomenal Woman

Shownotes Transcript

The stats say 1 in 4 women report having experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. In this episode, Tanya Angelique sheds light on a topic that often gets swept under the rug - domestic violence. As a survivor, she shares her experience with the cycle of abuse and how she left her abuser. 

Many people often wonder "why didn't she just leave?" when referring to women in abusive relationships. In reality, it's a complicated process. 

If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship you can visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline website thehotline.org or call 1-800-799-7233.
