Jennifer Lee/Mika

Healing from Dating Abuse. Turning Trauma into Purpose. Empowering Youth.

Mika’s story is one of incredible resilience. Growing up in a hardworking immigrant family, she survived a violent and abusive relationship; a relationship so dangerous that her father was tragically murdered protecting her from her boyfriend. Trauma, grief, and fear could have defined her life, but Mika chose to transform pain into strength and purpose.

In this powerful episode, she opens up about recognizing red flags in toxic and abusive relationships, rebuilding self-worth, and embracing forgiveness. If you’re healing from dating abuse, breaking cycles, or reclaiming your life, this conversation will inspire and empower you.
