Dirty Love: Breaking the Cycle of Abuse and Finding Power in Sharing Your Story with Kimberly Blackburn

Tessa is joined by author and advocate Kimberly Blackburn. Kimberly shares her story of abuse, deceit, and trauma - how it all began and how she broke the cycle. After stifling her voice and story for years and years, the Universe said ‘it’s time’ by seating her on a plan next to a woman who worked for a major publishing company. Her story spilled out which led her on a new chapter of healing and helping others do the same. In her book, Dirty Love, Kimberly dives into the double life led by her (now ex) husband, $94 million in stolen money, the FBI investigation and how she finally broke free from an abusive relationship.

Tessa and Kimberly discuss:

• The loss of her mother at a young age and how she stifled her own grief
• How her abusive and toxic relationship began
• How a lavish lifestyle can factor into the cycle of abuse
• Mental health awareness
• Kimberly’s inspiration in telling her story
• How she protects her children and what she hopes they will take away from her past
• The best things you can do or say to help someone that you think is in an abusive relationship
• And more
