He Thought He Killed Me — And I Still Prayed for His Freedom | Kadie Perez

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470881/fan_mail/new] Kadie Perez grew up off-grid on an Idaho cattle ranch, went from small-town shy to working at Disney, then followed a deep “knowing” she believes came from God to move to Utah with no plan—only faith. What followed was a relationship that began with compassion and connection, but slowly spiraled into addiction, repeated miscarriages, and escalating domestic violence that nearly cost her life. In this raw and powerful conversation, Kadie shares the moment she lost consciousness while being strangled—and the chilling realization that if she didn’t leave, she wouldn’t survive. But what makes her story unforgettable is what happened after: she found her worth, called the police, and later stood in court to speak not only about what was done to her, but about the humanity behind the man who hurt her—asking the judge for a sentence that would discipline him toward freedom rather than destruction. This episode explores trauma, self-worth, boundaries, and faith—not as religion, but as a relationship that helped Kadie reclaim her life. If you’ve ever felt trapped, blamed yourself, or wondered how to start over, this conversation is for you.
