Society believes that there are laws to protect victims of domestic violence from abuse. However, when victims, especially women, are faced with custody against abusers in family courts, laws seem to NOT apply in many cases.

In this episode, Tina shares her lifelong journey in the family courts system first as a child and later in divorcing a narcissist.
Tina goes on to share how she harnessed the medicine and power of her voice to create change through her social media platform, writing, publishing her books, and her courses.
