Hey Sis!
Today’s episode may be a little triggering for some of you if you were involved in this type of relationship, so read the show notes and decide if this episode is right for you.
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone, yet you were still lonely? Were you ever in a relationship where you were disrespected, degraded, used, and verbally, emotionally, and even financially abused? Have you ever struggled because you did things in a relationship that you weren’t proud of just to be seen and loved by a man?
Today, we are talking to another one of my sisters from another mister. She is being super vulnerable and sharing all the deets about a past toxic relationship that was a turning point for her. The conversation was so good and deep that I split it into 2 episodes.
In part 1, Rachel takes us through all that she endured in a particular toxic relationship. Rachel believed she was making sacrifices for the sake of building a future with this man. However, he had other plans and took advantage of her kindness and all she was willing to give.
A little about our guest: Rachel L. Stephens, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and currently serves as a grief counselor for children and adults. Mrs. Stephens earned a Baccalaureate in Social Work from Rust college in Holly Springs, MS, and a Master’s of Social Work from Union University in Jackson, TN. Rachel is active in community organizations that encompass all fields of social work specific to advocating for children and families. She received intensive play therapy training at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Education In Baltimore, MD, and has obtained her certification as a Registered play therapist with the Association For Play Therapy. Rachel is happily married to her husband, Davis, and recently had her beautiful baby boy, John Elijah
