She Roads With Terri Linton

On this episode, I talk with Angela Rivera.  Angela is a natural food chef, certified meditation coach, children’s yoga instructor, and mother of four.  She is a survivor of domestic violence and in 2018, discovered that her 19 year-old daughter was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship.  After her daughter survived a life threatening attack, Angela, dissatisfied with law enforcement’s response, took her advocacy for her daughter to Albany, New York, where she urged a state senator to draft legislation that would make the reporting of incidents of domestic violence easier for victims; Angela has since continued her advocacy.  She has also developed programming to introduce and encourage meditation to the law enforcement community.   Mentions From This Episode:   Senator David Carlucci   Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski   Tony Porter - ‘A Call to Men’   Tony Porter TED Talk   ‘The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World’s Most Successful People Launched Their Careers’ by Alex Banaya
