After 2 years of hosting The Deep and holding space for others, I'm ready to share with you one of the traumas that I lived through. When I was younger, I became a victim of domestic violence. I was manipulated, isolated, physically and sexually abused until I didn't know who I was anymore. But I got out. Somehow. And this is my story.Sean Szeps holds this conversation. Someone I trust and tell all my secrets to.Please note. During this chat I may sound guarded or at times unemotional. I know that this is still a trauma response. Because of legal reasons I can't reveal the identity of my abuser so some things need to stay private. It makes this a difficult conversation because I can't share everything that I want to. What I am doing is sharing the full extent of this abusive relationship for the first time ever.Content warning; This episode discusses domestic abuse, physical and sexual abuse, and suicide.

episode 6: From Civilian to Celebrity with Dom from MAFS
You may have heard of the TV show MAFS (Married At First Sight). Last season we got to see the toxicity and the craziness of the show unravel. Two people in the middle of the drama were Dom and Olivia. I was so invested in their relationship and their dynamic and also with Dom being slut shamed on TV. I wanted to explore why you would go on a show like this, what it's like becoming an overnight celeb and how you deal with it all.
Note this is not a normal Deep episode. It's more of a conversation than an interview.
This is just part 1 of the conversation. There will be so much more juicy exclusive stuff coming from Dom in part 2 on The Deeper including if she's open to mediation with Olivia.
