Ep 38: Finding Your Purpose After Trauma and Domestic Violence with Misty Chaviers

Even at your lowest, after experiencing trauma and domestic violence, it is possible to heal and find your purpose.  This week’s guest, Misty Chaviers shares her story of abuse and how she was able years later to heal and find her purpose as an advocate and podcaster helping other victims.  She is vulnerable and shares how she used drugs and alcohol and eating disorder behaviors as a way to cope with the pain.  We discuss how important it is for professionals working in this space to be authentic and what that offers victims and survivors.  This authenticity allows victims to feel safe to share their most shameful stories and secrets in order to start the healing process.Misty Chaviers is a court advocate, case manager and podcast host of the I’m a Survivor Podcast.Follow Misty at:I'm A Survivor PodcastMisty on InstagramPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.
