Please take care while listening.</p> <p> </p> <p>To honor International Women’s Day, Alex steps out of the studio for a special episode filmed at Harvest Home in Los Angeles, sitting down with Executive Director Sarah Wilson and Harvest Home alum Angie. Angie shares a personal story of how childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and opioid addiction eventually led her to experience homelessness while pregnant. Together, Alex, Sarah, and Angie discuss the realities of domestic violence, the risks of leaving an abuser, and how trauma can shape a woman’s sense of self-worth. They also talk about the power of women showing up for one another, the impact of true community, and how we can better support the women around us.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you would like to get involved with Harvest Home, please visit:</p> <p><a href="https://www.harvesthomela.org/callherdaddypodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.harvesthomela.org/callherdaddypodcast</a></p> <p>If you or someone you love needs support, please reach out to any of the below resources:</p> <p>The National Women’s Shelter Network</p> <p><a href="https://nationalwomensshelternetwork.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://nationalwomensshelternetwork.org/</a></p> <p>National Domestic Violence Hotline</p> <p>Call: 800-799-SAFE (7233)</p> <p>Text “START” to 88788</p> <p><a href="http://www.thehotline.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.thehotline.org</a> (<a href="https://www.thehotline.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.thehotline.org/</a>)</p> <p>RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network)</p> <p>Call: 800-656-HOPE (4673) or text HOPE to 64673</p> <p><a href="http://www.rainn.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.rainn.org</a> (<a href="https://www.rainn.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.rainn.org/</a>)</p> <p>National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline</p> <p>Call: <a rel="noopener noreferrer">1-866-331-9474</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.loveisrespect.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.loveisrespect.org</a> (<a href="http://www.loveisrespect.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.loveisrespect.org/</a>)</p> <p>Crisis Text Line</p> <p>Text HOME to 741741 for free, 24/7 confidential crisis support in English & Spanish</p> <p>Unwell Foundation: <a href="https://iamunwell.com/foundation" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://iamunwell.com/foundation</a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
