192: Dr. Heidi Brocke: Surviving A Toxic Marriage and Helping Others Escape
Manage episode 371046516 series 2792717
Dr. Heidi Brocke spent 14 years in an extremely emotionally and narcissistically abusive relationship. Her ex-husband had his fingers in so many aspects of her life. They owned a chiropractic center together. They owned a ranch. They had two children together. All things he used to torment and control.
The home was filled with fits of anger, extreme punishments and constant fear for her and her two daughters. And somehow even after trying to leave 6 times, he always found a new pressure point to bring them all back to him. There was no help coming from the courts, law enforcement or anyone else.
Heidi eventually escaped but was forced to leave her teenage daughters behind and he kept them from her for 5 years. Every night she feared for their safety. And somehow, miraculously, they all came out the other side, but not without a significant amount of work.
Today, she’s used what she’s learned to help hundreds rid and heal their toxic relationships and hosts the podcast “It’s not Normal, It’s Toxic”. She’s also an international keynote speaker, recipient of the Empowering Women in Business of The Year award by Inspiring Lives Magazine, and has been featured in both Forbes and Time Magazine for the dedication given to her clients and her work with toxic relationships.
