Jessica Willis Fisher is Americana singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and author of a bestselling memoir “Unspeakable: Surviving My Childhood and Finding My Voice”. Jessica is the eldest daughter in a family of 14 which was headed by an extremely controlling, abusive, violent and domineering father who is now serving a prison sentence of 40 years on 4 counts of child rape. The darker reality was far from the wholesome All-American Christian musical family persona depicted in their reality TV show or their stint on America’s Got Talent. But Jessica found the courage to find her voice, share her story and do deep healing work; some of which has been channeled into music and her critically acclaimed debut solo album “Brand New Day”, a song of which is played at the end of this episode.We also discuss:Jessica’s childhood abuse & her father’s arrestNarcissism, sociopathy, cults, high control groups Healing from trauma & getting out of survival modeJessica’s husband & the remarkable power of love in healing Moving forward & post-traumatic growthAre we friends on socials yet?
