Description

In this episode, I sit down with Denika, author of Broken Secrets, a deeply personal and powerful memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse, breaking decades of silence, and reclaiming power after trauma.

This is not an easy conversation… but it is an important one.

Denika shares her journey through grooming, manipulation, and the long lasting impact of trauma, while navigating life as a mother, building a life for her children, and silently carrying the weight of what happened behind closed doors.

We talk about:

• How trauma shapes the way we see ourselves and others
• The hidden reality of survival while “functioning” on the outside
• The courage it takes to speak up, even decades later
• And the truth that healing is not defined by systems or outcomes

This episode holds space for the messy, the painful, and the powerful parts of healing.

✨For survivors ✨ For those breaking cycles ✨ For anyone learning that their voice matters

This is a reminder: It is never too late to speak. It is never too late to heal. It is never too late to take your power back.
