Unfortunately for Bec, this statement is true. At just 13 years old Bec's vulnerability was taken away but due to a lack of education, self-worth, guidance and strong leadership Bec's worst nightmare became a reality early into her adult life.
Bec, now a fitness trainer and professional athlete in golf is determined to lead the way for women who've gone through similar experiences to her own. At just age 21, she is writing programs that...2021-06-2044 minBeauty In Strength08.

It's never too late to understand where your trauma really comes fromA woman who experienced sexual abuse from her brother when she was younger had no clue why she started living a destructive lifestyle. It wasn't until everything in her marriage started going down south and she started having flashbacks from her childhood which pushed her to seek professional help.
Sometimes we don't know why we "party hard", make "bad" choices, hang around a "certain type" of person. There is usually a back story - and for this woman it all started to make sense when it was pulled to pieces.
