09/02/20 • 46 min
Laurie Anne is a woman with a fascinating past. Raised by a single mom with a unique perspective, was a wide-eyed innocent in the '80s, taken under the wing by members of big-name rock bands like big brothers. Traveled the world wrestling in jello, mud, and oil. Modeled impressively and still does; it is her balance in life.
Then an experience in relationship control changed her world and her path. She now has lines in the sand that she does not allow crossing. She has a passion and empathy for women in desperate situations.
Yet, she remains warm, bubbly, and engaging, Her eyes still sparkle.
There are some amazing insights in her conversation with Mark.

Laurie Anne Sakla - Special edition- Relationship Violence - How to escape - How to spot it coming
Laurie Anne Sakla sadly has intimate knowledge of relationship violence. Since escaping from it has become her vocation and her mission to inform, empower, and rescue women entering or desperate to leave that destructive path.
This is a special edition podcast on Relationship Violence. Usually, I am talking to fascinating women about themselves, today's podcast came out of that conversation with Laurie Anne. It is so important I felt we should have a conversation just about that. Here it is.
Some of my photography clients come in working through the aftermath of the relationship. Putting themselves back together. They have gone through a crafted process that places them in the middle of the horror that for a big part aims at destroying their self-confidence, their self-esteem, their sense of beauty; it all winds up damaging their sense of self-worth.
In this conversation, you will learn the signs at the start, the red flags. Laurie Anne will talk about steps women can take (and the few men) to escape. She will list the agencies along with financial support to start again. To renew; to move on.
This is a vital conversation. If you see yourself or a friend from these insights, there is a path out.
