Episode notes

What happens when the person you married to build a life with becomes the person you have to survive?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Healing & Becoming, Coach Tamika shares her story of surviving an abusive and controlling marriage to a minister, experiencing a massive stroke, and ultimately finding the courage to reclaim her life.

This is not just a story about leaving an abusive relationship.

This is a story about what happens when you slowly lose yourself while trying to save a marriage.

Coach Tamika vulnerably shares the relationship red flags she ignored, the controlling behavior that became normalized, emotional abuse, financial abuse, extreme jealousy, isolation, spiritual manipulation, and the psychological warfare that caused her to question herself and her own reality.
