This trip is extremely meaningful to me as a single mom that recently escaped a toxic, abusive relationship. I have decided to use my experiences to help guide men and women to and through successful relationships that will result in happiness. I plan to use this trip as an example to my followers that may be feeling stuck in a situation that is unhealthy for them.  I found the strength and confidence within myself and through my kids to get up and leave when I believed there was no other choice. This trip represents my freedom, my confidence and my strength. I would like to instill those same exact feelings in others that are going through similar situations that I have. As an Italian American, I chose Italy as my destination because I know it will help me connect with myself on a deeper level. I know that deep connection to self will be beneficial when connecting to others and guiding them through their difficult journey.
