Have you ever loved someone who slowly chipped away at your identity—until you didn’t recognize yourself anymore? We have. We’re Lizzie & Deana—two women of faith, survivors of emotional and spiritual abuse, and former wives to the same toxic man. Surviving Toxic Relationships with The Matadoras is a faith-rooted space for women walking through the fog, freshly out, or years into healing. In this trailer, we share how God met us in our deepest pain and turned our story into a mission. We are not therapists—we're survivors, mothers, and grandmothers who refuse to stay silent.
Real stories, no sugarcoating—just biblical truth, healing without shame, and a faith-based community where you don’t have to heal alone. You’re not crazy. You are deeply loved.
