“Deliver Me From Nowhere” is a movie about Bruce Springsteen’s life and includes scenes of domestic violence in his childhood home. These events in his childhood had major impacts on his adult life.

While the movie just shows one scenario of abuse, it is important to remember that every survivor has a different story, and every survivor also has different reactions to the abuse they experience, all of which are valid. The most important lesson to take is that every survivor deserves to be BELIEVED when they disclose their abuse. Believing survivors helps to break the stigma around those who have experienced abuse and empowers more survivors to come forward, leading to safety, healing, and hope.

Lately I’ve been learning that real self-care isn’t just bubble baths or quick fixes—it’s choosing myself in the moments I used to abandon myself. It’s slowing down enough to notice what my mind and body truly need.

For me, that looks like eating fresh, nourishing foods instead of whatever’s quickest… giving my body fuel instead of just filling the space. It means planning days of rest without feeling guilty, allowing myself to reset, and reminding myself that rest is not laziness—it’s repair.

I’m finally understanding that prioritizing myself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. Every time I say “no” to something that drains me, I say “yes” to my peace, my health, and my growth. Little by little, I’m taking my power back—by choosing habits that support me, people who respect me, and routines that help me feel grounded and alive.

Self-care isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving myself permission to show up as the best version of me, not the tired, depleted version I used to settle for. Here’s to nourishing our bodies, resting our minds, and choosing ourselves—one day at a time. 💛✨

Today, we are asking you to Believe Survivors by giving to ensure essential services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child sexual assault at a critical time.

Funding for the life-saving and life-changing services provided at Safe + Sound Somerset is being gutted at every level. Resources are being reduced, defunded, and eliminated faster than any fundraising plan can keep pace with or the most well-funded reserve can possibly sustain.

You can make all the difference in ensuring that our vital safety net of survivor services – our 24-hour helpline, emergency shelter, legal support, and counseling – remain open for survivors reaching out asking us to believe them. Please show that you stand with survivors by investing in Safe + Sound Somerset with a meaningful gift by clicking here: https://bit.ly/4pe39LC

Children and teens cannot consent to sexual activity with adults. When an adult targets a minor, there is an imbalance of power where differences in age, resources, or authority create an environment of control and fear. This is abuse and exploitation and is never the child's fault. Safe+Sound Somerset believes survivors of child sexual abuse. Our compassionate services are confidential and available 24/7 at our call and text helpline: 866-685-1122
