Episode 103: Relation Red Flags (feat, Erick Escalara)

<p>It&apos;s been a while since we discussed <em>the Gift of Fear </em>so we figured it was worth bringing the topic of domestic violence and abuse back up. Erick Escalara, a former domestic violence advocate &amp; family therapist, was all too happy to help. He came on to discuss his relationship red flags and his work with abuse victims but livens up the conversation a bit by also talking about his favorite relationship media and his meme page.  <br/><br/>Find Erick online <a href='https://www.instagram.com/thispageismyalibi/'>here</a>. Erick wanted to draw attention to the Arizona Coalition against Domestic Violence which fights against sexual and domestic violence in the state.
