This quote comes from the part where Viva talked about the one time she was sexually abused by her favorite uncle and how much damage it did throughout her entire life. . In this episode, I chat with my friend Viva (@vivalaviva1) about the abuse, both physical and emotional, she suffered as a child by her mother and the sexual abuse by a well-respected uncle. It took Viva years to be able to realize that the sexual abuse really did happen. She shares how those things have affected all parts of her life. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 Please share this episode with anyone that you think could benefit or relate to the things Viva had to share. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

In this episode, I chat with Meghan (@auntiemkd) about dealing with depression and anxiety. She believes it started when she was just 10 years old and bullied for her weight. Meghan was officially diagnosed with depression about 15 years ago and went through a ton of medications before she found the one that was right for her. A series of toxic relationships led her to have a huge mental breakdown. In turn, she lost her job and insurance. Her mom called a crisis team and after lots more trial and error, she was finally able to get the correct help she needed. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 Please share this episode with anyone that you think could benefit or relate to the things Meghan had to share. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

Running a podcast does cost money!

I am doing this in what little spare time I have. This is something I am super passionate about, so I don't mind doing it out of pocket. But if you wanted to help out with some costs, it would be so appreciated! Money is spent on buying and hosting this website, recording and publishing equipment, plus I give each guest a little present as a THANK YOU from all of us for sharing their heart.
