How does one find the resiliency to carry on from an abusive relationship? Abuse happens in many shapes and forms, it could be mental, emotional, financial, physical, sexual, etc., and no matter what type of abuse it is, it is not okay. During and since the pandemic there has been a significant increase in domestic violence well above the 30% range. Join us as we speak to survivor, Nilzara Rivera, international best-selling author, and intimate partner violence recovery coach. She is an intuitive trauma-informed practitioner and her services are sought after by those who have survived all types of unhealthy and abusive relationships.  She guides women who have endured intimate partner violence to reclaim their minds, hearts, and cookies through a spiritual journey. She herself is a survivor of molestation, rape, an alcoholic father, and many abusive relationships until she made the decision to heal. 

Her story is inspiring and the choices she has made have led her to a life that is now thriving to support others living with abusive situations.  During our conversation, she shared ideas, and tips, on how to start and how to sustain after surviving an abusive relationship. She also shares with us the importance of taking responsibility and starting by loving yourself.
