Survivor Story, domestic violence.

Published: March 29, 2022, 6 p.m.

In today's special episode of our podcast, we felt a calling to deviate from our usual content and shine some attention to domestic violence. Earlier today, Tracey received a text from a client who needed to chat urgently. \nAs Tracey has mentioned before, she has the privilege of working with people who have and do live with tremendous and unimaginable traumas. Kaitlin is one and today she said enough. Today she said I am ready.\n\nSpirit immediately guided Tracey to ask her to share her story via the podcast. Part of what a spiritual journey involves is an awareness that your pain is not just yours and therefore does not just serve you. If you are a healer blueprint, another HUGE part of it, is that your role as a healer will almost always be directly related to your pain.\n\nKaitlin rang Tracey to tell her is ready, she joins us today to speak to, educate us on and move forward with graceful courage.\nIn Australia- 43 women were killed in 2021.
