EPISODE 2 - How bad is it? Gauging your dysfunctional relationship

Hello my dear, 

Thanks for tuning in for another episode. 

Hopefully, you've had a chance to listen to Episode 1, the first official episode of the Tiaras Tears and Triumphs Podcast, in which I introduce myself, and tell you a bit about my journey through an abusive relationship, and what inspired me to put this Podcast together for you. 

I am so glad you found the show to help women to go from SURVIVING to RISING.

My aim is to make this a safe place for women who have been hurt by some form abuse, to heal and grow.

In this episode I put my serious hat on and I look at gauging the level of dysfunction in your relationship. 

I put this episode together for you, because I know that some of you might have freaked out a bit when you listened to Episode 1. Maybe you identified with some of the things I talked about in my story. And now you might be thinking is this going to happen to me? Or this is happening to me. What should I do?

So in this episode I want to look at things like the cycle of abuse and what that looks like, and I'll talk about the different forms of abuse and I ask where you are on the scale?

Is your partner/boyfriend/husband just being a bit of a jerk? Or have things gotten worse than this? Or is everything getting out of control? Or do you need to pack a bag and leave in the middle of the night?

If your partner is making you feel scared, then it's a good idea to pause for a half hour and listen to this episode.

I am hoping you will be able to identify with any red flags that might be happening to you, to help you work out if you need some support. 

Please know there is help out there for you and don't forget, I am here to support you.

I know what it is to feel alone and scared and not know where to turn. I don't want anyone to suffer alone in silence. 

Knowing from experience that meeting life's challenges head, feels much more manageable when we feel like we are being supported was my driving motivation to put this Podcast together. 

If you are in an abusive relationship it is easy to become isolated from family, friends and community. I hope this Podcast helps you feel connected, encouraged, inspired and supported.

Now more than ever before, as we face the impacts of the global health pandemic in 2020, it is clear that we are all more physically isolated from the outside world.

And the pressures this has created for many is seeing a rise in women suffering from abuse.

With all these reasons, it just made sense to me to use a show like this, where you can pop in your headphones and tune in anytime, to tap into some support.

Please tune in whenever it is safe for you to listen. 

Your safety is the most important thing to consider.

If at any time you are in immediate danger, please call the police.

Please keep in mind that I am new to this whole Podcasting thing, which means I am not going to get things perfect from day 1. Life experience tells me that I will improve with time. So please forgive me my flaws and know that I am and this Podcast is, a work in progress. Please know that my heart is in the right place and all I want to do is be your support.
