Author Marybeth Rombach Nelson on taking back your ‘Personal Power’ after domestic abuse

Author Marybeth Rombach Nelson was in an abusive marriage. Still, it wasn’t until she had a near-death experience that she was empowered to start the process of leaving her husband for the sake of her kids and her own “Personal Power.” MaryBeth joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share her journey overcoming domestic abuse, emphasizing the importance of making a plan, seeking support, and utilizing resources like personal protection orders, community organizations, as well as trusted family and friends. Now, she helps empower “wholeness and oneness” in others as host of “The Healing Soul Podcast,” a content creator, speaker, and Reiki Master. She reminds people suffering from any kind of abuse that “You always have hope and are never alone. That there is strength to be found in the resources available.” 

For more information on domestic abuse, call the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-7233 and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center hotline at 1-877-739-3895. And remember for your safety: If you are in danger, please use a safer computer and consider calling 911.

Even though we live in challenging times, we can become ‘Relentlessly Resilient’ as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
