Melissa Vogel says her abuser attacked her, injured her, and left her terrified. She called 911 for help.
Then the police arrested her.
In this episode of Warrior Talk, Melissa shares how an abusive relationship slowly escalated from subtle control and financial manipulation to physical violence, how she ended up being arrested for felony domestic violence after calling 911, and what it took to rebuild her life afterward.
Her charges were dismissed the next morning after evidence of her injuries was reviewed.
Today, Melissa is a certified personal trainer, fitness coach, and host of the Bomb Life podcast. Her story is not only about surviving abuse. It is about what is possible afterward.
