Join Brandy this week to hear the story of one woman’s experience in two domestically abusive marriages. Hear how she overcame the manipulation that threatened to keep her locked in a cycle of shame, as she reached out for help.
Listen to the full episode here
Hear also how the Church both helped and hurt her as she sought clarity and guidance and a safe place to land.
This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation with Crystalyn Tadano Reed. This hour, Crystalyn shares her story of recognizing abuse and seeking help. Even as she walks us through the years of abuse she endured, her life continues to point back to the redemptive work of Christ.

What a great interview. Crystalynn was wonderful and the questions, while tough, were asked with such love and tenderness, and her answers were just honest and merciful. I can’t wait for next week’s conclusion. Blessings to you and your wonderful podcast.

She’s simply a delight! Her willingness to share and her faith are refreshing and inspiring! This is why we can spend hours on end in the coffee shop! 😉
