But then came the mother of all breaking points when an abusive, dark voice took over her life leaving her questioning reality and if her children were even her own. Hayley’s vulnerability and raw, unfiltered honesty will blow you away, it is a conversation that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Links, Socials & Products Hayley Thomson..
