She discusses the different types of abuse and how the highs and lows of the toxic relationship kept her trauma bonded and addicted to the cycle. Coach Rocky explains how journaling helped her recognize the patterns and reclaim her identity. She also emphasizes the importance of taking small steps to do things for yourself to slowly regain your power. Ready to break free from toxic relationships and reclaim your power? Tune in now!

And you have to be very mindful and work on yourself constantly.When we're in a toxic relationship, we're in a toxic environment, and things happen, and then we tolerate it.We are strong, and we can withstand whatever comes because we're strong women, and this family is glued by the women.Courage means that you still have fear. You're just doing it anyway.Remember who you are, you know. You might be in the mud, you might be all dirty, and your garments might be all dirty, so put on your crown anyway.If you didn't have all that light inside you, they wouldn't want to silence you. But because you do, that's why they pick us. They don't pick a weak person.Nobody wants to be abused. Nobody wants to be mistreated. We just end up being in there. And that's why it's like, it's so strange how we don't realize it."When your spirit is broken, it doesn't matter what you do. You just feel like you're trapped in the same pattern over and over and over.You have to make a decision to be happy. Because when you start making a decision to be happy, you are telling yourself, I'm gonna be happy.
