Episode 95: Toxic Abuser-in-Chief: What Politics Has to Do With Your Marriage

This week I am sounding off about why I get political on my podcast, on social media, and in my work.

The short answer: It’s because it matters and it’s all intertwined. America is extricating itself from a relationship with a toxic abuser. The same thing is being played out in so many marriages that I see.

In this episode, I breakdown the intersection between politics and my work in women’s empowerment. I explore the similarities between Donald Trump and toxic partners, and why doing the work to remove yourself from such relationships is so important. Not just for you, but for your children, and for America.

Show Highlights

  • Why I talk about politics in my work.
