This episode originally aired on YouTube. 

In this episode I share a personal story of the heartbreak and betrayal I experienced as a child coming back as a result of people around me rationalizing, minimizing, and excusing abusive behavior.

I talk about the emotional trauma and the painful moments that forced me to confront the lies I was told and, even worse, the lies I told myself. You’ll hear firsthand how the subtlety of manipulation can leave deep scars.

If you're searching for the courage to stand up for yourself or needing a reminder that you’re not alone, this video is for you. Together, we can start the conversation that so desperately needs to happen for the culture of excusing perpetrator behavior to end.

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. #togetherweheal
