Big life upheavals are happening both personally and in the world at large. In the midst of the upheavals: the murder of my sister-in-law by her xhusband, the terminal cancer diagnosis of a dear friend, and expanding my business which requires looking for financing.... I'm in a place of upheaval and questioning.

This episode is dedicated to my beautiful friend Rebecca Johnson- the host of the Podcast Love Is Not Dead, Just My Husband. Rebecca recently was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and I'm definitely feeling the pain of that diagnosis.

I want to celebrate Rebecca by encouraging you all to:
1) Listen to her Podcast: Love is Not Dead, Just my Husband
2) Follow Rebecca on Instagram: loveisnotdead_justmyhusband
3) Listen to Rebecca's episode on this podcast where she helps us all walk through complicated grief

This episode revisits the conversation I had with my friend, Maida Garcia about violence against women and the way minority women often get left out of the conversation. The original conversation was recorded 2 years ago- after the disappearance of Gabby Petito- a young white woman.

I brought this conversation out again because it is very timely for a tragedy my family experienced a few weeks ago when my sister-in-law was murdered in an act of Domestic Violence.

If you, or anyone you love is a victim of Domestic Violence please have them go to the National Domestic Violence Hotline : https://www.thehotline.org/ or call: 800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788

My trip to Germany taught me many things about the power of our voices.
#1 Fear is a powerful silencing tool. Fear tactics that keep us quiet about the issues that really matter allow tyrants and people with bad intentions take power.
#2 Your voice is so powerful, THEY will do anything to silence you.
