Trigger warning: Childhood sexual abuse
28 years later, with my voice and music, I finally tell the tale of what happened so long ago that I kept quiet about. Remembering moments of intense pain is confusing, painful, sad, rage inducing, and also leads to the light at the end of a tunnel I've been running in for years and years.
I am in the thick of healing and you will hear the tragic cries of a 7/8 year old coming from a woman of 35.
I am not in the business of protecting people from emotions, so I didn't edit this episode. And I want to normalize a process and experience that I know I'm not alone in.
Stuff You Should Know
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
