My Trauma
My trauma started before I even understood what trauma was. As a little girl I was violated by a man who was married to my aunt — someone who was supposed to be family. Someone who was supposed to be safe. That experience planted seeds of shame, confusion and broken trust that would follow me for years.
As I grew older I found myself in a relationship that lasted 13 years. Thirteen years of abuse. Thirteen years of cheating. Thirteen years of slowly losing myself trying to hold together something that was quietly destroying me. I stayed because I didn't know my worth. I stayed because leaving felt impossible. I stayed because nobody had ever taught me what love was supposed to feel like.
The betrayal didn't stop there. People I called friends — women I trusted with my heart — became sources of some of my deepest wounds. I learned the hard way that not everyone who walks beside you is walking WITH you.
And then life handed me losses that brought me to my knees.
I lost my mother — the woman who gave me life. And I lost my firstborn son — a piece of my heart that I will carry forever. There are no words for that kind of grief. There is only surviving it one breath at a time.
I found myself homeless — a mother of 8 beautiful children — trying to hold everything together with very little and asking for help from people whose help sometimes hurt more than it helped. I had to learn to discern who was truly for me and who was just present.
Seven of my children are here with me today. And every single one of them is a reason I chose to heal.
Because I realized one day that I could not pour love, safety and wholeness into my children while I was still bleeding from wounds I had never addressed. I had to do the work. For them. For me. For the woman I knew I was born to be.
So I healed. Not perfectly. Not quickly. But genuinely and powerfully.
And Healed Not Hushed was born from that journey — because I know there are women out there carrying the same weight I carried. Women who have been violated, betrayed, broken and overlooked. Women who have been told by life that they are not enough. Women who have been silenced by their pain for far too long.
This journal and this workbook are for YOU.
You don't have to have it all together to begin. You just have to be willing. And if you are reading this — you already are.
I believe in your healing the way I believed in mine. 💜
With love always,
Founder, Healed Not Hushed
