Today, I sit down with Mesha Paul, survivor, author, and host of the Silent No Longer Podcast, to have a conversation about domestic violence, childhood trauma, and the long journey of healing. Ms. Paul shares her story of growing up in instability, experiencing long-term sexual abuse, and later finding herself in multiple toxic and abusive relationships without realizing that what she was living was not normal.

In this episode, we explore how domestic violence goes far beyond physical harm. Ms. Paul shares that there are multiple types of domestic abuse, including emotional, psychological, and intimidation-based abuse that often goes unrecognized. We discuss how silence, fear, children, financial dependence, and misplaced forgiveness keep people trapped in harmful relationships, and how abuse behind closed doors is often invisible to friends, family, and even churches.

We also discuss Ms. Paul’s faith journey, her book Behind Closed Doors, and how learning God’s definition of love became a turning point in her healing. From generational trauma and abandonment to boundaries, self-worth, and learning to speak out, this episode emphasizes why survivors must recover loudly so others do not suffer quietly.
