Trigger Warning: Childhood Sexual Abuse, Addiction, Trauma

She shares her story of healing from childhood sexual abuse, breaking harmful generational patterns, and reclaiming the power of her voice. She now dedicates her life to helping others through their healing journey and the path to resiliency.

Episode Trigger warning: Depression, mental illness, suicide

In this episode, I talk about the curse of generational trauma and how I was conditioned to suppress my emotion because of my parents' unprocessed trauma. It is important to remember if we’re a child of immigrants, and our parents had a tumultuous upbringing, they were parenting from a place of unprocessed pain. They were parenting from trauma and without the mental health resources to help them adjust back to normalcy. Getting to a place of compassion, acceptance, and understanding why our parents are the way they are will free us from the burdens of our past selves.

For so long, I shamed my Cambodian heritage to assimilate to American white culture. But after my tumultuous breakup that ignited my healing journey, I began to unravel my family's history and learn about the story of their escape from the Khmer Rouge regime. In January of 2020, pre-pandemic, I traveled to Cambodia with my family and uncovered the untold stories of my family's experience living in the Killing Fields.

In an impulsive decision, I decided to go on a solo trip to Paris in the fall of 2019. This led me to a journey toward self-love and self-acceptance through reconnecting with my cousin and an old friend from the time I lived in Florence. My solo trip was a journey towards returning to myself and loving the person I was becoming.

Trigger Warning: Stalking and psychological abuse

The title says it all in this episode. I ran into my ex at my first half-marathon race in the fall of 2019, believing it was a coincidence when eventually I found out it wasn't.

Few people believed me that he stalked me, but eventually, I was validated by Allie Davis, an Ecofeminist Therapist with a Ph.D. in developmental trauma who has helped many women heal from psychological and physical violence.

In this episode, I talk about how writing my vulnerable stories lead me to become the person I am today, an unapologetic badass.

Writing was the vehicle towards my healing journey that intertwined my once disconnected mind, body, and spirit. I had never been a writer prior to creating Sincerely Miss Mary in 2018.

It was a tool of survival that allowed me to become unstuck from the traumatic experiences I was living and rescue myself. This episode is my love letter to the writing process and how it turned me into a badass.
