Silent Scars: How to Recognize & Heal from Hurt w/ Ruby Raja

In this episode join me as Ruby Raja and I dive into the complex realities of domestic violence and trauma. Ruby shares her journey from volunteering on a women’s helpline to working in the criminal justice system, where she gained a unique, holistic view of abuse. We discuss how recognizing abuse can be challenging when it’s emotional or psychological rather than physical, and Ruby shares insights on how abuse impacts not only victims but their children as well.

Together, we explore how safe, non-judgmental spaces can be a powerful tool for healing.
