You Have the Power - The Road to Recovery from Trauma and Narcissistic Abuse

46: The Truth They Told Me to Bury - My Story of Abuse, Betrayal, and Reclamation


Listen Later

This is the episode I was never supposed to record.

In Part 1 of Reclaiming Safety & Power After Sexual Abuse, Darla Ridilla shares her raw, unfiltered story—from childhood abuse to adult violation, from being silenced by the people who should’ve protected her to reclaiming her voice on her own terms.

This episode isn’t just a personal account—it’s a wake-up call for every high-achieving woman who was told to keep quiet, stay small, or protect their abuser’s reputation at the cost of their own healing.

You’ll hear what it really means to live with the lifelong echoes of sexual abuse—and how Darla turned pain into power by refusing to keep secrets that weren’t hers to hold.

This is not about playing the victim. It’s about breaking the cycle. It’s about remembering your worth. And it’s about reclaiming what was always yours: your body, your voice, your power.

If you’ve ever been silenced, gaslit, or dismissed, this episode will meet you where you are—and remind you that you’re not broken. Your truth matters. And you’re not alone.
