In this episode, I talk with Stacie (@unveileddiscovery) about the severe emotional and physical abuse she endured as a small child, by the hands and mouth of her step-dad. Stacie shares how it has affected her to this day and what triggers her PTSD, as well as an abortion she had as a teenager. Please note that this episode is sad and very raw.

This quote comes from the part where Breanne had just gotten to the hospital. Her dad was telling her he was brain dead and said she was not to cry in front of her mom because that would just make things worse. . In this episode, I chat with my friend Breanne (@breanne_markie) about the loss of her brother as a teenager, her parent’s divorce that shortly followed, sexual assault of her friend by her father and finding herself while trying to navigate through all of this. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 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.

After four years of trying to get pregnant, a miscarriage and five failed IVF cycles, Anita (@anitawhittingham) had basically given up. In this episode, Anita tells us about all the things she tried and did to get pregnant for years. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find out what ended up working for her, not once, but twice! 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 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.
