42. Light on the Path of Freedom from Domestic Violence with April T. Giauque

Welcome to Episode 42 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   It's the 4th week of October! In this week's Awareness episode, my conversation is with a woman who has become a cheerleader for women who live with domestic violence and now helps them to find their voices. But that was not always the case. She, too, lived in fear for herself and for her children. She had to find creative ways to protect them from the insanity brewing in her household. Like Hansel & Gretel's breadcrumb trail, April T. Giauque discovered points of light that God was leaving as a trail for her to follow on her journey to escape the darkness. Tune in to learn about those pinpoints of light, how they led her out of darkness, and how she is now helping others to find their voices.   Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...   Learn more about April: Website: www.apriltribegiauque.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/apriltribegiauqueauthor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilTribeGiauqueBeaconofLight Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aprilgiauque LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/april-tribe-giauque-msed-455578145/ Pinpoints of Light on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3C48amy Out of Darkness on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3UisQh0   Helpful Organizations: National Breast Cancer Foundation: https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/ Purple It Up: http://purpleitup.org/ 2Live2Cure: https://2live2cure.betterworld.org/ Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ iRise Above Foundation: https://www.iriseabovefoundation.org/   Donate to the Star of the Sea Guild through our fiscal sponsor! https://raisedonors.com/xaviermissionfund/star-of-the-sea-guild   Armor Up.
