Brenda Dennehy

But now I'm looking at you now and I'm going to be, and people who follow you are going to be looking at you in a completely different light because you're on there, mostly sunshine, a bit of humour, real life.

Yeah.

and to know that you were beaten black and blue verbally abused physically abused all that trauma and here you are now and you're helping people online like Eleanor if that's not a comeback yeah and it's just what you were saying there like it just that's to me I was just sitting there this morning going all I ever wanted was to do that like I always even when the lies I hear lies from people I said if you're arguing you're losing

And that's exactly why I do the podcast.

And I only said something to someone earlier.

I said...

All I ever wanted to hear when I was in the grips of despair, I wanted to hear someone who'd gone through what I'd gone through and came out the other side.

And no, you said you're going to be that blueprint for someone.

You've blown me away, Eleanor.

You've blown me away.

Before I finish up then, I want to get into how you started the social media.

And my mom always says, like, just being your true self is good enough for anyone.

It is.

And it is.

And I think for years, most of us, you know, we all wear masks.

sometimes of course yeah of course yeah you're trying to be someone else for your ex-partner yeah and i think as you said there oh i'll put on the makeup maybe dress nice clean the house and all this yeah but your true self is good enough it is and look at you know helping so many people my god i'm blown you're gonna help so many people i'm so glad we did this yeah i'm so glad and your children have given their full blessing

And I think, I just think it's going to help so many people.

And people are going to be shocked.

Because, like, again, all this in the car, having the chats, having the little rants, and little do they know the trauma and hell you endured.

And people are going to be listening and say, if Eleanor can get out of it, so can I. Absolutely.
