S2 Ep30: Chapter 27 | Empowered and Unapologetic with Veronica Cisneros

In this conversation, Kim and Kara interview Veronica Cisneros, a licensed marriage and family therapist and host of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast. Veronica shares her story of growing up with a father addicted to heroin and alcohol, and how her adverse experience inspired her to become a therapist. They discuss the importance of challenging women outside of their comfort zones and empowering them to live the life they want. 
This captivating conversation also covers topics related to relationships, trauma, and personal growth, exploring the dynamics of unhealthy relationships and the challenges faced by individuals who want to leave but may not be able to due to safety concerns or other factors. Veronica provides a script for initiating conversations about past trauma and offers the DEARMAN acronym as a tool for effective communication.
