S2:E7 From Pain to Purpose - Exploring the Vulnerability of Domestic Violence

In this episode I dare to share my vulnerable stories about exposures to domestic violence. With the recent news of Epstein and sex trafficking, being a victim of events like rape or sex trafficking or even domestic violence is not restricted to women alone - it happens to men too.  Unfortunately, all to often, we remain silent. We are silent to file complaints. The stigma is there. At some point as a society we need to remove the shame and stigma.  Domestic violence happens in the military and it happens before or after we get out. Certainly these events can affect us, but it remains a choice to keep carrying the rocks. Love is what heals us. God wants us to be healed, He wants us to know that we do not have to carry that burden alone. Yes, there is vulnerability in sharing my story, but it is my pain to purpose story. I have endured the years of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain because of these events. But God is how I have endured, how I have healed, how I have continued my faith and continued to grow, to thrive, to live the best life I can.
