Kathleen Keith
Kathleen Keith survived an abusive childhood, worked through university ("I saw an education as my way out") and, in her words, "married the first guy who came along because I was taught I was too ugly and stupid to ever have choices." As the years passed, she questioned why her life was a constant cycle of mood swings, anger, gaslighting, and coercive control from her husband. Determined to change, she started meditation, therapy, and self-reflection, gradually transforming her life. Two years later, she left the marriage, traveled the world, and now lives peacefully, sharing her Transformation Action Plan in her book 'The Miserable Marriage Handbook for Women', to help others escape abuse.
