This one’s for the folks who’ve smiled through the storm, made excuses for the pain, and stayed silent way too long. In this episode of The Sunny Side View, Sunny finally opens the door for a conversation that’s been heavy on her heart—but the mic belongs to her colleague, Melody.

Melody is the founder of Courageous Shift, a powerful nonprofit that helps survivors of domestic violence rewrite their stories and reclaim their worth. She keeps it a buck about what abuse really looks like, why it’s so hard to leave, and how she found her way back to herself after years of surviving in silence.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this love—or control?” or if you’re trying to support someone in that place, tap in. Melody’s story isn’t just about survival—it’s about transformation, truth, and taking your power back.

⚠️ Content Warning:

This episode talks about domestic violence and may be triggering for some listeners. If you need support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. We believe you and you are not alone.
