Childhood trauma and abuse do not always end in childhood. Many of the fears, survival patterns, and emotional wounds we carry into adulthood are connected to experiences we were forced to navigate too early in life. In this episode of The Survivor’s Mic, we begin opening the door to deeper conversations around trauma, survival, healing, and the long-lasting effects of abuse, topics that will become a central part of this podcast moving forward, rooted in lived experience and honest reflection.
