Welcome back to another episode of Not your Typical Karen! In this week's episode, we are joined by two guests who have dedicated their services in providing care and assistance to those who are currently in an abusive relationship or situation and to survivors of domestic abuse. Karen briefly recounts her own trauma and shares a short page of her story with domestic abuse. Marysol and Lorrie both provide useful tips and valuable resources for our listeners and hope this episode is as educational and empowering to you as it was for both Wil and Karen. In the words of Marysol, "Please take some time to nurture yourself and do some self care." We are survivors! ♥️🥰
