"I was given the life I was given, so that when this happened to my family, I would make that right decision of reporting and of protecting her, and of doing everything for her that was not done for me..." - Angelina Loeza
What if your most painful experience was actually preparing you to save someone else's life? When Angelina Loeza's 4-year-old daughter made
an outcry about sexual abuse, she faced an impossible choice: continue the generational pattern of silence or break the cycle forever.
My guest in this episode is author and advocate Angelina Loeza, a mother of three who courageously broke a generational cycle of silence around childhood sexual abuse. Our conversation explores Angelina's journey
from childhood trauma survivor to protective mother who made the difficult but necessary choice to report her daughter's abuse—ultimately leading to a life sentence conviction for the perpetrator. The episode highlights the power of speaking truth, the healing that comes from breaking family secrets, and how our past pain can become our greatest purpose in protecting the next generation.
