This week i welcomed Shana Begum on to the show who i a domestic abuse survivor and now campaigner. Some parts of Shana's story is upsetting and might cause some distress to some listener's. I will list some helplines at the bottom of this text and also where you can find Shana on social media. Shana talks about her 2 abusive marriage's, how her father tried to take her life and how she had to flee her last marriage due to honour based violence. She shows how she was determined not to be a victim anymore but a survivor and how despite having all these bad experiences and also having dyslexia she become a NLP Practitioner to try and help others who are in the position she was in.  Shana talks about the different types of domestic abuse and how we as a society can help look out for others. Her final words at the end of the show  " Be the hero you never had" were powerful.
