“Healing and recovery are not linear, so wherever you are, just be there and be kind to yourself.” – Kath Essing

Today’s featured author is a mom, wife, speaker, consultant, educator, and storyteller, Kath Essing. Kath and I had a chat about her book, “The Courage to Speak Your Truth: Shifting The Narrative on Childhood Sexual Abuse”, the transformative power of speaking out about trauma, the importance of professional support in recovery, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

Kath’s motivation for writing her book and the importance of humor in healing

How she wrote her book in a month and what made it a healing experience

How reconnecting with her inner child helped her reclaim her voice and power as an adult

Why 90% of childhood sexual abuse victims know their abuser
