TW: Discussion of domestic violence. My guest, Nichole Myles, is a survivor and speaker who talks about post-traumatic growth, resilience, and trauma-informed practices.

You can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE or by texting “start” to 88788. You are not alone. And you do not have to go through this alone.Special credit to Purple Planet Music for the background track, https://www.purple-planet.comI'd be so honored to have you join me each week in a live group call on the Peanut App. If the thought of having to talk to a group makes you want to bury your head in the dirt, don’t worry!
