You Don’t Look Like What You’ve Survived

This episode is personal. I am opening up about my journey as a domestic violence survivor and how that experience inspired me to create The Phoenix Foundation, launching October 24.Before I became the woman you see today, I was in a relationship that nearly broke me. It took courage, healing, and time to rebuild my life. Years later, that story became the inspiration for The Phoenix Foundation, a way to help others rebuild after they have found safety.The Phoenix Foundation is not a place to call for a safe space. It is for survivors who are ready to begin again, with support like down payment and closing cost assistance to start their next chapter.I also share why talking about domestic violence is not “airing dirty laundry.” It is how we burn down the silence and bring change.In This Episode, I Share:•My journey from survivor to advocate•How my experience inspired The Phoenix Foundation•The different types of abuse including physical, mental, and financial•Why breaking the silence saves lives•How survivors can rebuild after finding safety💜 The Phoenix Foundation launches October 24.Visit https://www.phoenixfoundationcc.com/ to learn more, donate, or attend our launch event.🔗 Sponsored by:TOCH Construction: https://www.tochconstruction.com/Allstate Insurance – Rob Shaw: https://agents.allstate.com/robert-shaw-harrisburg-pa.html  Chavis Law Firm: https://www.chavislawfirm.com/ Dirty Dog Hauling: https://dirtydoghauling.com/ 💼 Powered by The Erica Rawls Team: https://ericarawls.com/ #CoffeeWithE #PhoenixFoundation #DomesticViolenceAwareness #BreakTheSilence #SurvivorStories #HealingJourney #FaithAfterTrauma #WomenInLeadership #EmpowerSurvivors #NonprofitWorkSend us Fan MailFollow Us for More Inspiration:📸 Instagram: @erica.rawls🎥 YouTube: Erica Rawls📧 For inquiries and collaborations: [email protected]✨ Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes!
