⚠️This is a trigger warning from the Kandid Shop Podcast. On this episode, we will be discussing domestic or intimate partner violence and I want all of you to be aware of what you can and can't handle when listening to this episode. Take care of your mental and emotional health. Thank you.⚠️
October is Domestic Violence Awareness, or as they're now calling it Intimate Partner Violence, and I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Ms. AnnDena McCleary, author of "Bent Not Broken, Rebirth of a Domestic Violence Survivor," and Founder of Bent Not Broken Inc.
AnnDena courageously shared her personal story of intimate partner violence and her road to healing and freedom.
"Bent Not Broken, Inc." is her "baby" and was born out of the need to help women & men as they navigate the world free from trauma and abuse.
IN HER WORDS:
"We have the concept of domestic violence, it's just hitting but It's not hitting only. Talking down financial, emotional, mental." If he's talking down to you and he's isolating you and he's letting you feel less than the person, you need to question yourself, Do I need this?" ~AnnDena McCleary
"You are beautiful. And you are more than enough. When you could tell your yourself all of this, look yourself in the mirror, Get up every day and celebrate. Put on a little bit of lip gloss, a little bit of makeup, and look at yourself and smile. I am beautiful. I am worthy. And watch how your day goes from a frown to a smile. " ~AnnaDena McCleary
"Bent Not Broken, Inc. is an organization that's that's here to rehabilitate domestic violence victims. I don't like the word victims. I wanna say overcomers. It's overcomers. We're all overcomers. So Bent Not Broken is here to assist domestic violence overcomers find themselves again. We are a liaison between the help and you. " ~AnnDena McCleary
Everyone deserves to be in a relationship or relationships that are free from violence of any kind. So if you're listening, please know that when you're ready, help and support are available 24/7. The domestic violence hotline is 1-800-799-7233. Or if you're not ready to talk, you can text "START" to 88788. People are out there willing and ready to help!
