Content Warning - Child Sexual Abuse, Substance Abuse, Suicide and Self-Harm - If any part of this episode causes distress, please see the resources below for support services and help.
In this episode, Kristi talks with child sexual abuse survivor and advocate Glen Fisher, author of the book Predators Paradise.
Glen shares his story of resilience through a childhood of child sexual abuse and neglect from so many predators, which left Glen to a road of self harm, violence and substance abuse.
Glen's turning point was when his own children were born. It was in becoming a parent himself that he realised he needed to heal and make changes so he could be the best father to his kids.
Glen shares his journey from broken little boy to fierce fighter, advocate and father and the steps he has taken to reclaim his life, recover from addiction and bring some of his abusers to justice.
This episode is for all the survivors out there, especially men struggling with demons that haunt them, needing to know that 'YOU ARE NOT ALONE'.
