“You’ve Got This”: Frances Bentley’s Story of Violence, Survival & Radical Healing

What does it take to rebuild a life that almost ended before it began?

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, I chat with Frances Bentley Speaker, Author, and Advocate for women and children shares how she survived extreme early-life violence, escaped years of abuse, and transformed trauma into purpose.

We dive into generational patterns, the body’s memory, nervous-system tools, and how she ended the cycle through conscious parenting and radical self-work. Her message? “You’ve got this.”

In this episode Frances shares what it’s really like to grow up in survival mode - the kind of trauma that shapes your brain, your body, your relationships, and your sense of self.

We talk about:

💥 The silence behind closed doors (and why victims aren’t believed)

💥 How trauma gets passed down through generations — and how to stop it

💥 Food, perfectionism, and control as coping mechanisms

💥 Meditation, breathwork, and body-based healing

💥 Ending the cycle - and giving her daughter the childhood she never had
