Summary
As a child my father sexually abused me.
This is the story of a strong, creative, articulate, well-read, funny, authentic and kind human. She is also a survivor of CSA, growing up in a family with secrets. Leaving home before she had finished high school to escape the chaos and going on to graduate college, travel the world and create a life for herself there is so much wisdom and deep inner strength to be shared here. But how can you fully move on from such difficult beginnings? How do you relate to such a disconnected and fractured family? How can you be at peace when you are so broken? Please join me in listening to this week's story because everything shared here deserves to be heard.
