Johanna Crawford shares her journey from domestic violence survivor to founder of Web of Benefit, which provided grants to help over 10,000 survivors reclaim their lives and define their dreams.

• Developing a "Dream Proposal" methodology that helps women identify career, housing, transportation, travel and self-care dreams
• Moving from thinking small to dreaming big — envisioning the life you truly deserve
• Understanding that self-forgiveness is the foundation for worthiness and self-esteem
• Creating the "pay it forward" model where each grant recipient helps three other survivors
• Recognizing that abuse exists on a spectrum affecting all women in different ways
• Understanding that self-care is an attitude and way of life that most women haven't adopted
• Taking small, actionable steps toward big dreams builds confidence and momentum
• Using the power of community to support women moving from survival to self-sufficiency
