VIDEO 39. Domestic Violence & Breast Cancer - Two Traumas That Changed My Life

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Warrior Words podcast!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

#StompOutBreastCancer
and
#StompOutDomesticViolence

In this episode, I share some sobering statistics about both of these traumas, plus a few things that are in our control so we can do something about it. Over the following four weeks, I will share some incredible stories of brave women who have walked one of these two journeys.

Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...
