The forms of trauma addressed in this video series are very real, and statistically you know several women and children who are living through or have endured and escaped from at least one of them. Those women could be members of your family, close friends, or people with whom you work or socialize.
Despite what we all want to believe, we often cannot tell. Many abusers learn from past mistakes, and only leave physical marks that are hidden under clothing. There are also no ways to see emotional, financial, or mental abuse and control. You might think the woman would come out to you for support, but will you feed and house the victim and her children? Will you face the abuser in their defense?
The path to escape must come from within, and through knowledge of what services and safety nets are available. Freedom comes from listening to others who have experienced the same trauma, and learning from how they moved forward.
Our program will educate the afflicted, stimulate a course of action, and initiate a plan for how they can regain control of their lives and escape the nightmare that has become their lifestyle.
Experience is the key element in this program, which is what makes it so unique and effective.
Sasha Parrell and Ashley Snowball, the creators of Born Legacy as they have lived the life of trauma and helped each other to escape and grow. That is the reason they are getting so much public support because they don't just talk the talk, they have walked the walk and then learned to run.
Anybody can read a book or attain a degree and call themselves an expert, but there is no teacher like living the subject. These women have struggled and overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs which they turned to after surviving sexual assault, violent abuse, and toxic relationships. They have also both faced near-death experiences.
Regardless, through a mixture of structured education and studies in philosophy and faith, they directed themselves while supporting each other onto a path of recovery and regrowth. They now want to share their knowledge with other women who will benefit from their guidance.
