Abuse Without Bruises

Ep. 212 Have you ever ignored the red flags because the fear of being alone felt heavier than the pain of staying? 💔 In this powerful episode, Maryann Rivera-Dannert opens up about her journey from being a self-proclaimed “relationship junkie” to reclaiming her power, healing past traumas, and choosing self-love first. Maryann shares stories from her anthology W.O.M.B. Sister Chronicles: Women Overcoming Men Blues and reminds us that not all abuse leaves visible scars—sometimes the deepest bruises are on the soul.
