This was the most difficult episode I've done so far because I've shared part of my story. That being said, I feel it's important to share our stories for many reasons. My main reason is so that others don't feel alone and also I hope they feel they will be able to move forward and heal by hearing how I have. I continue to find ways to grow, learn, and move forward in this life that presents challenges, but I believe there are so many people who will help me free of judgment or condemnation. I encourage you to find folks that do the same for you if you don't feel like you have them now. I had to be willing to be vulnerable and trust others, which is not easy when you've had trauma.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SOME DETAILS OF CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT.
