RelaxWithLeticia #010 - From Childhood Trauma and Assualt To Becoming An Inspiration and an Icon To All Women!

In this episode, a very different episode I might add, I sit down and chat with Leticia from BlaqueRose Coaching, an inspiration to all women and men out there who are struggling with domestic abuse, sexual assault, depression and feel like they need someone to give them advice! This episode is so different to what I usually do but I loved it to be honest. In this episode, I learned about her story and the horrific things she's been through from being homeless at 17 in Bermuda to getting stabbed by her boyfriend a few years later to setting up a coaching business to give black women a space to 'Get Their Mind Right'. Her story should make us more aware of the problems she talks about so we can help friends and family who are going through these events. So I hope you enjoy it and sit back...relax...and get ready to...RelaxWithRizzoli (and Leticia)!

If you are suffering from Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault or worse, you can go to your GP and start making notes every time it happens in case if something happens to you then your GP and the police have a strong lead to go on. YOUR GP IS BOUND BY LAW NOT TO TALK TO THE POLICE OR ANYONE ELSE UNLESS THEY THINK YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT A CRIME, so it is completely confidential! More people need to know about this!
