I was sexually abused from age 11 through 21 years old. Wow! I’ve never written that publically until now. The only two reasons I’m even able to share my painful story with you is because #1 I’ve done the deep healing work necessary to process the extreme trauma and damaged self-worth. #2 I believe that I survived that abuse in order to be a shining glimmer of hope and guidance for other humans who are still sitting in the deep gut-wrenching shame. You see the Universe has a beautiful way of connecting you with the right people and the right messages, as even the crap people and situations you encounter are there to teach you and help you grow. The beautiful and powerful soul I have on the podcast today came into my life via Instagram, and we share a common bond only abuse survivors can understand. This conversation may be triggering for some of you, and if it does please reach out to a therapist or one of us, you are no longer alone.
