133. The Journey of Courage: Walking Away, Navigating Abuse, Forgiveness, & Trusting Yourself to Love Again w/ Jermeika Burks

What gets misunderstood quite often is that it's easy to leave a marriage, however it's one of the most challenging decisions to make even when it was the safest option to choose. When marriages dissolved all kinds of questions arise. You wonder what's next, you wonder if you made the right choice, and you wonder if you could have done more to save the relationship. It's a difficult decision to make because it often involves letting go of a significant part of your life and accepting a new reality. In addition, social and cultural norms around marriage can induce feelings of shame or guilt, further complicating the decision to leave. There's nothing casual about making the choice to leave, if anything it takes courage. On this weeks podcast episode, join me as I have a conversation with one of my previous clients on dissolving a 14-year marriage, navigating the abuse, forgiveness, redefining motherhood and trusting yourself to love again.
