YOU'RE ONLY AS SICK AS THE SECRETS YOU KEEP.

Five years ago, I made my first post opening up about my childhood sexual abuse.

It was the best thing I could have done.

My life became a billion times better when I started to share my shame.

I was able to sleep through the night.

I connected to other people.

And I was able to give and receive love.

Now I want to help other people experience the same feeling of light, peace, passion, and power that I did when I opened up about my rape.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about how I healed my history of sexual abuse.

My life mission is now to help these men free themselves from past trauma. So often they are not given the space or permission to share their vulnerabilities.

One in six men has experienced sexual abuse.

It’s time to reclaim your life. Be the owner of your life, not the victim of your life.

So get ready to learn all about my journey to open up about my past on Episode 776.
