Just Yadi Podcast

Trauma in any form can alter your way of thinking and I realized that I needed healing for myself because I needed to be free. Free of fear, free of shame, free of hurt, just free. I had to search my heart but for me to do that I had to face the toxic relationships I kept going back to and the bad choices I kept making instead of facing the root of the problem. I had to be mindful of the pain and face depression, sadness and hurt, one at a time.

I break down my teenage years where I dealt with an overwhelming feelings of depression and suicide. I had to deal with the feelings of an everyday teenager but also had to hide my secret and try to fit in and create a normal life. Hiding was the norm for me, anything to avoid facing the truth. Even through the pain that was going inside me, I found out that I was one strong teen and still the right person showed up in my life that gave me a glimpse of hope.

My trauma started when I was a child that was being molested by an uncle. This was the root that started within me and led me into making some bad choices and decisions. As a child, I kept a lot of secrets not knowing the damage that was being created mentally and physically. Please know that in this episode I speak about some disturbing details that happened to me. I share my story to show that pain, fear and shame no longer have control over me.

Life has its up's and down's, but you don't have to walk it alone. There are so many people hurting, you might think you can't make a difference, but you really can. I appreciate those friends that were there for me, those people that lived a positive life and I admired, advices and wisdom that I learned through other people that shared their stories and mistakes. I personally appreciate every single one of you, for your love, your support and for listening.

Being grateful when you realize you don't have anything, have you ever found yourself there. I was a child when I was there in that moment and later realizing we were homeless and poor. The importance of helping others makes a difference. You might not see it right there and then but you left a mark in someones' heart and life.
