spousal abuse — Healing Our Ghosts - podcast

Healing Our Ghosts shines light into the suffering we keep hidden. We are not alone in our struggles and when we share our pain, we lift the shame secrecy that keeps us alone and disconnected from each other and prevents us from healing. With humor and compassion, Ana Joanes interviews a wide variety of guests about their messy lives, how they hurt, survived and thrived and, more often than not, how they use their life's journey to contribute to the world. Ana believes the trauma-informed movement must be lead by those personally affected. She is the director of Wrestling Ghosts, a powerful and intimate documentary about childhood trauma and healing.

Meghan Spiro - Life After Domestic Violence

Meghan married young with her college sweetheart. The relationship seemed perfect on the outside, but behind closed doors, she was experiencing emotional abuse and soon physical abuse. After ending a second marriage, and now a mother, Meghan decided to start her healing journey. Encouraged by her boyfriend, she joined an ayahuasca ceremony and experienced a deep transformation. Out of this experience came a powerful body of work (paintings and poetry) that explores her history with domestic violence, sexual assault as well as her healing journey.
