A childhood consumed by abuse, an adulthood transformed by self-compassion

Content warning: This video contains themes of sexual abuse. If you think it may be triggering for you please take care when listening. The thoughts and opinions expressed by our contributors are not necessarily those held by Something to Say.Violet's earliest childhood memory is of being abused. She was prostituted by her mother from a young age, then "bought" by her grandfather to suffer yet more.At some point, she turned the page, and started writing her own story. She now has an organisation that supports others who have suffered.This is a heartbreakingly honest story, from a woman who has found hope where we might assume there was none to be found. As Violet says, "As long as you are breathing, there is hope".The views and opinions expressed by content providers to our channel are not necessary those held by Something to Say.To connect with Violet;https://coloryourstoryontomine.com/https://www.facebook.com/newbornviolethttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088317495635"Transforming pain into compassion is the alchemy of the soul, where wounds become wisdom and empathy blooms from the depths of our own suffering."- Violet Newborn. To see more - https://jeremyindika.com/stories/Official website - https://somethingtosayofficial.com/To share your story - https://jeremyindika.com/contact/#form-something ⁠⁠Here's how you can support our mission:⁠⁠✅Follow our page for inspiring content and updates⁠👕 Wear our merch to help start conversations⁠💚Donate to fuel our efforts⁠🔐 Sign up for exclusive and early access content on Patreon⁠💬 Like, comment, and share our posts to spread the message of survivor support and community empowerment. ⁠ Instagram: www.instagram.com/somethingtosayofficialFacebook: www.facebook.com/somethingtosayofficial1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/something-to-say1TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@somethingtosayofficial Merchandise: https://somethingtosayofficial.com/collections/allJoin our Patreon for extra content and early access: https://patreon.com/SomethingtoSay We want change and won’t stop.Join our Patreon for extra content and early access: https://patreon.com/SomethingtoSayTo follow us on social media;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/somethingtosayofficialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/somethingtosayofficial1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/something-to-say1TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@somethingtosayofficial Hosted on Acast.
