Today I speak with the excellent Denise Brown, author of Transcending Darkness, and woah, if you should listen to one episode, this is it. We discussed our struggles with our child abuse trauma, how it impacted our adult life, and the ways we use our past for goodness. We both had the same profound event of a higher power speaking to us when we thought it was all over. I had no clue this was a commonality between survivors, and well, listen now, as it stunned us both. âGod spoke to me at the lowest point in my lifeâ.
