51:07

Emma, the host of The Healing Odyssey, is joined by guest Kate Mageau to explore the hidden truths of domestic violence. Kate opens up about her journey from a toxic marriage to becoming an empowering force for others suffering from abuse. The discussion sheds light on the psychological hurdles faced by survivors and the challenging, yet liberating, process of starting anew. The episode stresses the necessity of breaking societal stigmas, understanding the signs of abuse, and the importance of therapeutic work and support networks in recovery and healing from toxic relationships.

Kate Mageau, LMHC, ADHD-CCSP, is a therapist, author, and toxic relationship survivor. Rose Colored Glasses teaches about toxic relationships through story, with psychological explanations after every chapter. The Healing from Toxic Relationships workbook teaches the mechanisms of abuse in more detail, and provides thoughtful journal prompts and coping tools. Kate Mageau is available for coaching worldwide, for ADHD, writing memoirs and self-publishing, starting businesses, and career coaching.
