This episode begins where everything should’ve felt safe, childhood. I talk about the warmth I once knew, the memories that still make me smile… and how it all started to slip away. When my mother married him, I lost more than her attention, I lost her presence. This is the part of the story where I stopped living and started surviving.

Content Advisory:

The Quiet Between Takes is a raw, deeply personal storytelling podcast. It explores themes like childhood trauma, sexual abuse, emotional abandonment, grief, and survival.

These stories are told with tenderness and care, but they may be triggering for some listeners.

If you’ve lived through similar pain, I hope my voice makes you feel less alone. But please listen only when you’re in a safe headspace.

You matter more than the story. Always.
