Saskatchewan has the highest rate of reported intimate partner violence among all provinces and more than double the national rate. Today's incredibly courageous guest, Kendra Weenie, shares her survivor experience and sheds a light on a topic that a lot of people, particularly women, face in silence.

Kendra Weenie takes us through her heartbreaking story where her and her newborn daughter had to flee a situation where her partner was emotionally, financially and physically abusive. Kendra gives us a glimpse into her unimaginable experience and provides key learnings into how she was able to escape, what resources she utilized and how to best support someone navigating this.
