#65 Surviving Domestic Violence: How to Reclaim Your Power and Turn Pain into Purpose with Guest, Jess Patz

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jess Patz. Jess may be a passionate philanthropist, energetic podcast host and electric motivational speaker, but back home in Ohio, she’s a busy mom of four. Jess has found a beautiful way to inspire others through her story of domestic abuse survival and loss. She teaches others how powerful their own stories are and how to reframe their pain into their superpower. Jess has truly taken something that was meant to break her forever and turned it into a tool to help others ignite the future of their dreams. One of the many ways Jess helps others everyday, is through her "I Choose Hope" Foundation. An organization dedicated to not just helping domestic abuse victims and their families, but survivors of all trauma in need of emergency assistance. Jess has been featured in multiple media outlets including television, radio, and podcasts across the country. She is thrilled to bring her story of hope, heartache, and healing to you so you too can discover your bigger purpose!
