Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of intimate partner violence and abusive relationships. Please take care while listening.

In this powerful and tender conversation, I’m joined by Cat Dunn award-winning OBM, mentor, speaker, and founder of Life After I Left.

Cat shares her lived experience of leaving an abusive relationship and the deep healing journey that followed. Together we explore:

  • How childhood experiences shape the way we love and choose partners as adults
  • What life is really like inside an abusive relationship
  • Why leaving is so much harder than it seems
  • How to create emotional safety for yourself
  • Learning to trust your own judgement again

Cat’s story is one of honesty, resilience, and reclaiming power. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt trapped, or wondered how to rebuild after leaving, this conversation will offer insight, validation, and hope.
