  • Ep 3. Unraveling My Truth
    Nov 27 2023

    In this episode, I respond to your request and wonderful feedback. Thank you for letting me know what you want to hear. I am truly grateful.

    So today I delve into the essence of my memoir, ‘Speak #TRUTH Lies’.

    I reflect on the emotional turmoil caused by my father's passing, and the impact of family estrangement and childhood trauma on my self-esteem and sense of worth.

    It is hard to love oneself when the evidence that we are not loved by a parent is stacked high against us.

    I always feared my father and knew I needed to confront my past to overcome this fear.

    Going deeper, I delve into the topic of writing the memoir, my personal struggles, and the battle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome.

    Sharing our stories has a healing power, and I want to hear YOUR story.
