How I went from being a victim to a survival guide!

One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will be someone else's survival guide. - Brene Brown

Imagine a world where no one talked about their struggles.  It takes bravery for people to talk about their struggles regardless if it's to a single friend or a crowd of strangers.

It's the stories that I have heard that helped me get through my darkest moments. It's the feeling of being alone but not being alone.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I have oftentimes felt alone until I hear someone tell their story of how they made it through an experience that was the same or more traumatizing than mine. My openness to my experience is to bring awareness to the struggles one faces every day after that event and help others heal along the way.

So if you are a survivor of trauma, your story can help someone survive through their darkest moments.  Don't ever take that for granted.

Until Next Time Mom Tribe, share your trauma and bring healing to someone else.
