Are you—or someone you know—stuck in an abusive relationship? Whether it’s physical, verbal, or emotional, you need to hear this conversation.
In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Denise Willis, author of On Loving Yourself: How to Overcome Adversity and Abuse and Develop Personal Power. Denise opens up about her own experiences with toxic relationships, abuse, and low self-esteem—and how she found the courage to heal, rebuild, and step into her God-given worth.
Together, we discuss:
✅ Signs of toxic and narcissistic relationships
✅ Why women stay—and how to break free
✅ The role of self-love, affirmations, and boundaries
✅ Self-care as an essential (not selfish) act
✅ How faith and God’s power bring strength and healing
If you are in an abusive situation, please know: you are worthy, you are loved, and you do not have to stay. Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement and hope.
