How Jessica Ella healed from childhood trauma

This episode covers sexual abuse and suicidal ideation. While the conversation you’re about to hear is ultimately a hopeful one, please take care before listening. 

When Jessica Ella was a little girl, and for the many years that followed, she experienced what no child should: sexual abuse at the hands of her own father. She never felt safe at home, and the life that followed was a rollercoaster of falling apart and piecing herself back together.

And here, she generously shares her story with us – coming to terms with what happened to her, the decision to end her relationship with her dad, the fear of not being believed, and how she rebuilt her life and career after refusing to be defined by her lowest, most traumatic moments.
