Nobody told me that leaving was only the beginning.

I thought I'd be sad for a few weeks and then feel free. At one month, I was in complete panic mode. At six months, I completely shut down — wouldn't answer the phone, wouldn't answer a text, kept telling everyone I was fine when I wasn't.

And I kept asking myself: why am I still not okay?

Because leaving doesn't start the healing. It just stops the bleeding.

In this episode I walk through what actually happens in the months after you leave — the panic, the shutdown, the moment the dots finally connected and everything changed.

What To Expect When You Leave is available on Amazon and at SheRisesFromAshes.com

Steady Fire with M. Martin is available on Spotify and YouTube.
