you start just by sharing a little bit more about yourself and the work you do as a relationship and emotional wellness coach? What kind of led you into this space?
1:53
I guess, to be honest, and I'll only cover it very briefly, I came from a 23-year abusive relationship, domestic violence.
2:03
So I really got the experience of what a bad relationship looks like at first.
2:09
why really on reflection throughout the years I've really seen how that relationship has impacted my parenting and really discovering that I didn't know how to navigate my relationship during being a parent and even more so now I was 17.
2:29
So I even had youth against me of how to navigate the relationship, you know, and We really navigate our relationship by what we see our parents, how they navigate.
2:42
This is where a lot of the issue lies, and it's not about blaming your parents, but it's about the realization.
2:49
And so that was the beginning of my journey, and then I got out of that relationship and really did a lot of work by myself.
