Divorce and Toxic Relationships with Daw...

SHERRY GABA AND CARLA ROMO
About this episode

It’s all about divorce and moving on from toxicity this week. First, Carla and Sherry take a Love Fix question from someone who is hesitant to date a divorcee. They then welcome Dawn Burnett, CSA who is the founder of the #SHEROproject and a divorce and lifestyle consultant. Dawn has helped countless people around the world free themselves from relationships, habits, and situations that are no longer serving their highest selves. She discusses her own journey of abuse and how she broke certain patterns and freed herself from toxicity, why what we eat and how we treat ourselves really matters, and why it’s important to have the right support and to take baby steps when leaving an abusive relationship.

  • Abuse is a very overwhelming situation, and it’s all about dealing with internal trauma through baby steps, positive affirmations, positive podcasts, etc. 
  • Dawn discusses the tools she uses to help people move from a toxic force to being okay. 
  • The importance of finding a community. 
  • How we can begin to clear out toxicity through focusing on what we eat, drink, how we move and what we put on our bodies.

  • What it means to Dawn for someone to go from victim to thriver.
