What happens when love feels like safety, but silence becomes the price?

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Jasmine Peters opens up about surviving emotional and psychological abuse in a queer relationship that looked “perfect” on the outside but left her questioning her own truth. In this deeply personal, diary-style episode of The Chronicles of a Black Lesbian Mom: Healing Like a Motha, Jasmine shares what it’s like to lose yourself in someone else’s pain—and the powerful journey of finding your voice again.

🎧 Story Focus:
Jasmine reflects on how empathy can turn into self-abandonment when love becomes survival. Through raw honesty and vulnerability, she walks listeners through how she mistook silence for peace, compassion for caretaking, and control for connection—until she chose herself again.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Guided Meditation:
“Reclaiming the Voice Within” — a grounding meditation to help survivors and empathic hearts reconnect to their truth, release guilt, and reclaim their power after emotional or psychological abuse.

📜 Lessons & Reflections:

  • Silence isn’t peace; it’s a sign your truth needs space.
  • Your intuition isn’t paranoia—it’s divine discernment.
  • Healing isn’t about moving on; it’s about moving home to yourself.
