A powerful true story of escaping abusive marriage and surviving, written for women who refuse to stay stuck under power and control, and who are ready to transform and commit to path to freedom
A practical roadmap offering structured tools and coaching guidance for women who refuse to stay broken and ready to heal, rebuild and transcend into self-directed growth.

Leaving: How I Set Myself Free from an Abusive Marriage
A journey of a woman stuck in a toxic relationship and how she escapes to safety with her children
A woman’s journey through a toxic marriage—and how she found the courage to escape to safety with her children.
My memoir, Leaving shares my personal journey of breaking free from an abusive, narcissist, and an alcoholic at a time when the realization set in that I was being victimized. That acknowledgment turned me into a tigress and thus started my journey to escape. This was just the beginning of survival The work had yet to be done!
Leaving captures the earlier part of the journey—from survival to finding myself, to courage, dignity, and freedom. That journey later deepened into the transformational work I now offer through coaching and through my second book, Thrive.
In this memoir, you'll:
See the subtle signs of emotional and psychological abuse
Recognize how societal norms, family values, and limiting beliefs can normalize the unacceptable
Witness the inner conflict of staying "for the children" and for survival
Follow the shift from victim to protector, planner, and a roaring tigress
Find courage in someone else's story when you can't yet see your own way out
Many women tell me Leaving gave them language for what they had been living in silence.
Testimonial:
“A memoir of distinction. A gift to the world. A clarion call for action against domestic violence. Bhaskar is unapologetic in her storytelling, expresses strong feminist opinions and is brutally honest about the violence inflicted upon her by her former spouse. “Leaving” is a memoir of distinction because of that honesty and for its precise details and palpable sensory experiences - the stench of filth in an isolating village, the burn of a slap from her abuser’s open hand, the vision of rage in his eyes, the joy of her children’s laughter, the taste of freedom, the intuition of knowing what is good for her, and not. But moreover, the work demonstrates the supreme courage it takes to live through abuse as well as the significant fortitude necessary to share one’s experience with the entire world. Bhaskar has done all this and more. “Leaving” is a gift to the world born of one woman’s suffering and strength and is nothing short of a clarion call for action to be taken against domestic violence.”
—Maria MacMullin - Host of Genesis The Podcast;
How the two books work together

Thrive shows you the way through the aftermath.
