  • Recognizing Healthy Relationships
    Jan 21 2025


    In this episode of Through the Eyes of Survivors, we are joined by Ly Marlow, an advocate for domestic violence awareness and founder of Saving Promise. Together, we dive deep into the importance of recognizing healthy relationships and how they serve as a foundation for well-being. Ly shares her personal experiences and insights, as well as resources available to help individuals identify and cultivate healthy relationships in their own lives.

    We also discuss the Only 11 Minutes campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the signs of domestic violence and the importance of intervention. This powerful initiative emphasizes that it only takes 11 minutes to save a life—so every moment counts when it comes to recognizing and addressing unhealthy relationship dynamics.

    For those looking to evaluate what a healthy relationship looks like, we reference the What Healthy Looks Like Quiz—an essential tool for anyone seeking guidance on relationship wellness.

    Check out the Saving Promise website to learn more about their mission and the work they’re doing to prevent domestic violence.

    Tune in for this important conversation and be empowered with the knowledge to recognize and build healthy relationships.
