Trainer: Angela Sujullie - Mom of 2 teens, 4 cats, and 5 dogs. I am a survivor. The abuse I experienced and witnessed growing up led me to think that the toxic and abusive patterns in my adult relationships were normal. As an adult, I found myself in relationships where I was experiencing domestic violence. Once I learned I didn’t have to endure domestic violence, I grew and healed. The freedom and empowerment I found in healing ignited a passion for empowering others.

Professionally, I have served as a Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Court Advocate and a Domestic Violence Case Manager in New Mexico, as well as a Victims Advocate at the Children and Families of Iowa shelter in Des Moines. I believe that through building awareness about what abuse looks like, how it can affect all of us, and the kinds support and resources are out there, any victim can become a survivor, all survivors can find their voice, and we can break the cycle.
