In this episode, I talk to the amazing Kelly Sutliff, a psychotherapist, a DV survivor, and the founder of a nonprofit, Kelly's K9s. She was married for only 11 months, with no joint assets and no children, but her divorce took over 4 years. After the first and only instance of physical abuse, a series of horrific instances that were meant to end her life, Kelly hit rock bottom in the aftermath of this episode.

This is her finding her passion and her purpose to live a life she loves.
