About the Owner
Hi, my name is Jaimie Hajbura, and I want to take a moment to share the story behind my store. If you’re here, chances are you—or someone you love—has experienced the pain and challenges of domestic abuse. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and this space was created with you in mind.
A few years ago, I found myself in a situation I never thought I’d face. I was in a relationship that became toxic and harmful, leaving me feeling lost, broken, and unsure of how to move forward. It was one of the hardest and most challenging times of my life, and extremely isolating. I fell into a dark place, hopelessly convinced I would never snap out of it and regain any sense of self.
After his arrest, I was faced with a devastating choice: to stay or leave. At the time, I believed I was in love, and that love clouded my judgment. I chose to stay. Looking back now, I realize how manipulation played a major role in my decision. He convinced me that his arrest was my fault, and he needed my support to 'make things right.' To this day, he blames me for his arrest, believing that I was the one who put him in jail. Carrying that blame was heavy, but now, I see it for what it was: an attempt to shift responsibility away from his own actions.
I was coached—subtly but intentionally—to say the 'right' things to the authorities within the court system to minimize the consequences he would face. At the time, I didn’t fully understand how much of my own voice and truth I was giving up to protect someone who had mentally and physically hurt me. It wasn’t just loyalty; it was a combination of guilt, fear, and the deep emotional manipulation that made me believe that I was, in fact, responsible for his fate.
In hindsight, I see now how hard it was to separate love from control and how important it is to reclaim your own sense of worth and voice. That realization has fueled my mission to help others recognize their own strength and the power of breaking free from those toxic dynamics.
My actual turning point came when I realized that my worth isn’t defined by what I’ve been through. I decided to break free from him and rebuild my life, piece by piece, starting with small affirmations and reminders that I deserved peace, happiness, and love—most importantly, self-love.
To anyone still struggling or healing, I want you to know: your story isn’t over, and you are not defined by the pain you’ve endured. Together, we can protect our peace, embrace our strength, and create brighter days ahead. Thank you for being here and for letting me share this journey with you.
