*Content warning. This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse and trauma. Some listeners may find this distressing. Please take care while listening. Today’s episode is another deeply personal one. I’m sitting down with Trudy who has always felt more like a cousin than my aunt—someone I’ve laughed with, grown with, and shared life with in a way that goes beyond titles. But today, we’re stepping into a different kind of conversation—one that takes courage, honesty, and a lot of trust. In this episode, she opens up about her childhood and the experience of surviving sexual abuse. It’s not an easy story to tell, and it may not be easy to hear—but it’s an important one. Conversations like this help break silence, challenge shame, and remind others who’ve been through similar experiences that they’re not alone. We approach this with care, respect, and the understanding that healing isn’t linear—and that sharing a story like this is an act of strength. This is a peak into our family and the generational trauma that we are fighting to end for the next generation and beyond.
