How Do I Make an Exit Plan? [136]

Getting out of an abusive marriage can seem impossible. Especially when it comes to the money aspect. As in...where will you get it? How will you reenter (or start in) the work force? How are you going to add MORE to your already overflowing plate? And those emotions. The big ones that feel like a thick sludge up to your hips or a pile of wet blankets on top of you or a deep, aching hollow in your chest. How do you deal with those? Dear one, it's not easy, but it is simple. I’ve traveled this way before—alone and with others. So let me share my road map. This episode paves a path to: • The proof that knowing all the “hows” (as in, how in the heck is all this going to work out) isn't necessary • What learning to drive has to do with all of this • Why I don't tell survivors what to do while still giving them precise, tried-and-true advice • A way to OWN your valid, real, big emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them • How your healing ignites all the practical things you haven’t figured out Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/136 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?

Flying Free is a support resource for women of faith who need hope and healing from hidden emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, and narcissistic abuse. Because of misogynistic theology taught in controlling and spiritually abusive churches, many Christian women find themselves in destructive marriages where there is an uneven power dynamic. Male partners use their status as a husband to gain power and control over a woman’s mind, emotions, body, social life, finances, and more. When she tries to get help from her equally abusive church environment, she is betrayed and re-abused. Flying Free offers a Christ-centered, gospel-oriented perspective on domestic abuse that protects and honors the voices and autonomy of women. Tune in each week to hear conversations with emotional abuse advocates and fellow survivors who will walk with you on your journey up and out. We hear you. You are not alone.
