Our next Everyday Woman episode features Barbara Shelton, a wine enthusiast and digital content creator based out of Wine Country in Northern California. Several years ago, Barbara lost herself in an abusive relationship that was littered with secret violence, abuse that isn't physical. With the support of friends and family, Barbara was able to escape her toxic relationship and began to heal from the inside out. In this episode, Barbara shares her personal story and gives tips on how to detect the subtle signs of abuse in romantic relationships. Emotional abuse is often more common than physical abuse, but it's harder to recognize, because it can masquerade as an intense form of love and devotion. (TW// sexual assault, abuse, suicide)
