Episode Highlights:

21:04 - Prior to me really looking into myself, I did go to therapy. It didn't help. And I'm not saying that therapy doesn't work for other people, but for me, they were asking me questions. And I think the thing is, is that I was I was stuck and I think I actually had stuck energy. Right? So, talking something through even when you have stuck energy is not going to do anything. That's what I came to realize. And so, I'm a big component and big believer in energy healing.

24:54 - A couple years ago, I would have never been able to share. Even if I became aware of it, I wouldn't have been able to share it. And now, I've healed so far that I can be like, "Okay. Yeah. This is not a great part of my history, but someone can learn from it." Someone can learn that you stop pointing the finger at someone else because there's 3 more pointing back at you.

30:11 - To be honest, I'm grateful for the entire journey. Only because if I wouldn't have experienced everything, if I wouldn't have experienced any kind of abuse, any kind of anything, right? The treatment, I wouldn't be where I'm at. And as hard as it was and as much as I know I cried through it, I felt horrible. I felt like a worthless individual through all of it. I wouldn't be where I am and I wouldn't be able to share my story and help people because I know I've helped people.
