Wow, I found this podcast because I was searching for the Minwalla Method on podcasts. I found one and it was helpful, but I just heard the episode from April 2026 on motivations and it was so extremely clarifying and helped me organize my thoughts about the abuse I’ve experienced. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
You have found the help you desperately need! There is hope and Roy and Jaqueline will walk this path beside you and your partner!
