    244. I Was Suicidal AT NINE YEARS OF AGE

    244. I Was Suicidal AT NINE YEARS OF AGE

    Abby was suicidal at nine years of age. How does a child of nine become suicidal? By the time she was a teen, Abby was angry. She started drinking, partying, and alcohol turned into an instant addiction for Abby. Alcohol allowed Abby to finally escape the deep sadness and fear she felt inside. That addiction to alcohol would feature in Abby’s life over many years and it would allow Abby to live, what appeared from the outside to be a good life. She had a career, a loving husband and she was traveling the world. But addiction is like a ticking time bomb and one day something has to give. As she says herself, Abby is now turning her mess into her message and she is coaching women to heal from generational trauma cycles. You can find Abby on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/uh.vee and via her website https://www.abigailteixeira.com/

    245. My Nan Worked In A Sweet Factory

    245. My Nan Worked In A Sweet Factory

    My Nan’s life unfolded in a world vastly different to mine. She weathered two world wars, shielding her children from the relentless bombings over London.. Everything Nan endured, along with those of the women who came before her, shaped the person she was. The beliefs she held about what was possible and the beliefs I hold about myself are worlds apart, yet upon reflection, are they truly that different? And how profoundly do the simple messages handed down to us, keep us stuck in lives we never consciously intended to create?

Wake up little one

This podcast has been my life line since the beginning of 2023. I’m nearly 38 years old and am just now getting to know my inner child because of the stories shared here. I hope some day to share my story too.

IS THIS MY TWIN? MY LIFE TO A T

This is literally 80% accurate of my life. I grew up without a dad but an alcoholic step dad that my alcoholic and drugged out egg donor liked to antagonize and taunt my step dad. He has said he’s so sorry for any wrong he has done or any trauma he caused in my life. My egg donor on the other hand manipulated me to pay for her cell phone or should wouldn’t have contact with medical professionals. It took me 20 years to stop paying her phone bill. There is so so much more and sadly most who know have since passed leaving me alone on this big bad world again. Baby sitting other people’s kids as well as my egg donor. Baby sitting at 9, Mother at 9, 10, 12 then 15 years old (my own child). It’s been quite the journey and I’m just getting started at 41

First review ever

This podcast is everything I’ve been looking for. It has all of the forms of childhood trauma in one show. Thank you for the work you do. And to every guest that shows up being vulnerable and open you are strong amazing and an inspiration.
