In our last episode, we talked about Susan Powell who was a victim of domestic violence. Many of her friends talked about Josh's strange behavior and the recalled things that should have been warning signs.

Today we talk to an expert on the topic, Ashley Bendiksen. She will tell us her story of survival, what signs to watch out for and how to safely leave a toxic relationship.

She holds a B.S. in Administration of Justice, graduating as Valedictorian of her class - years after dropping out because of domestic violence.
