This quote comes from the part where Kati tells about how she grew up poor. They couldn't afford things like dance lessons or rec league basketball or going to the doctor, let alone name brand clothes and shoes. . In this episode, I chat with my friend Kati (@kati.mason) about the sexual abuse she endured as a young child, as well as the abandonment she felt by her mom as a child and teenager. Those things together really affected her and the way she viewed herself. She was constantly searching for love and always felt unworthy. After meeting her husband and trying to start a family, they have been on a roller coaster ride. Kati has struggled with infertility and has lost two sets of twins – the last miscarriage nearly destroyed her. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 Please share this episode with anyone that you think could benefit or relate to the things Kati 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.
