Author Marybeth Rombach Nelson on taking back your ‘Personal Power’ after domestic abuse

Author Marybeth Rombach Nelson was in an abusive marriage. Still, it wasn’t until she had a near-death experience that she was empowered to start the process of leaving her husband for the sake of her kids and her own “Personal Power.” MaryBeth joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share her journey overcoming domestic abuse, emphasizing the importance of making a plan, seeking support, and utilizing resources like personal protection orders, community organizations, as well as trusted family and friends. Now, she helps empower “wholeness and oneness” in others as host of “The Healing Soul Podcast,” a content creator, speaker, and Reiki Master. She reminds people suffering from any kind of abuse that “You always have hope and are never alone. That there is strength to be found in the resources available.”
