This week I have on special guest Dawn Tyree.

She breaks down her tragic (and sadly super common in the 44 states where it's legal) story of being married off by her parents at age 13 to her abuser who had gotten her pregnant. But her story doesn't stop there. She talks about the pivotal moment where she decided to escape and make a better life for herself and her children against all the odds.

You can find this brave woman on Twitter: @Dawnbtyree
