Today we are joined by Chantelle Branch, who shares her journey of healing to thriving from intimate partner violence and the role childhood programming played in tolerating unacceptable and abusive relationship.  Chantelle Branch is a Certified Domestic Violence and Abuse Specialist, Survivor, Mentor, and Author. In 2008, Branch made the risky decision to break free from an abusive relationship. After years of healing through faith, self-care, self-worth, and learning about healthy relationships, Branch created a new life of her own and is now on a mission to empower others exposed to DV to do the same. She created the Survivor Testimony & Monologues (STAM), a traveling theatrical production that shares monologues about different scenarios with different people exposed to domestic violence. She also founded My Fearless Future Project (MFF Project), a social enterprise business offering mentorship programs and support groups for young women in urban schools to help them build their self-confidence and self-esteem, improve their decision-making skills, and heal, so that they can thrive.MFF ProjectChantelle's YouTube ChannelChantelle's InstagramHow To Quiet The Inner Critic - A Shut The F*ck Up WorkshopSupport the Podcast -https://www.patreon.com/adultchildwww.buymeacoffee.com/adultchildFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2TMS9MTUzE(I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)Support the show
