Unmasking Trauma | My Story Pt. 1

Similarly Different

Warning:
In this episode, we discuss topics related to kidnapping and sexual abuse, which may be distressing for some listeners. The content includes detailed recounting of the kidnapping experience, emotional trauma, and other sensitive issues. Listener discretion is advised.
On today’s vulnerable episode, I sit down with my lovely guest Carla, as we begin to unmask a trauma that happened to me when I was just 17 years old. Carla is known for her impactful work in rescuing sex trafficking victims and providing women the tools they need to process and recover from their past. As I walk through my chilling experience step-by-step, together, we explore the impact of trauma on the body and how to properly process and heal. Join us as we break down my story of survival and resilience, and stay tuned for part two next week!
