Survivor sounds past tense to me. I feel very much in the trenches.

I think that you'd have a hard time getting out of any relationship or situation by yourself, completely by yourself. And I would say I'm a fairly fierce independent person.

I left my partner when my daughter was 14 months. I could have sucked it up for 18 years. And I absolutely understand why people do. But I remember thinking the only thing worse than this is knowing that my two little babes are gonna grow up and think that this is normal.

I speak as someone who is a CEO.

I speak as someone who is forgiving; stubborn; fierce and determined.

I speak as someone who is a recovering perfectionist.

I speak as someone who is hopeful.

I speak as someone who is loving and caring.

I speak as someone with integrity.
