Meet Beth Petta!   In this interview, she shares how she survived and broke free of a toxic marriage plagued with alcoholism, a religion that crushed her, and a job with a toxic boss that shredded the remained of her confidence.  She shares how things in her marriage of 22 years steadily more difficult as her partner sank deeper into alcoholism.  Because of her religious background, she felt like she needed to say and be the Martyr - it was her "cross to bear."  Ideas around shame about her past coupled with the teaching of the church that told her she was a "sinner and unworthy" kept her trapped in this toxic marriage.  She was told she needed to pray more and obey the church more when she asked for help.   With her pleas falling on deaf ears she began to sink into a depression.   A move to a new city gave her some hope she could break free.  It started with stepping out of the toxic job.  

Here are red flags Beth encourages you to watch for: Intimidation (male in power position using intimidation and causing fear) Pay attention to fear/feelings in your body Derogatory comments about women in general; your intelligence Derogatory/dismissive comments about you as a person (intelligence, personality, character)  

Follow along as Beth shares what the process of Non-violent communication looks like and how it has changed her relationships.  Seeking to reconnect with who she really is at the core has been her goal during her 7 years of recovery following divorce.
