My purpose actually is to help other people by shining light onto this darkness and giving them some hope, and also encouraging them to hand the shame back to who it belongs, which is the perpetrators.
What does it take to rise above unimaginable darkness? In this gripping episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Gloria Masters, a woman whose story of survival and resilience is nothing short of extraordinary. Born into a life of unspeakable abuse, Gloria endured sixteen years of sexual, physical, and psychological torment at the hands of her father and his paedophile ring.
Yet, despite the horrors she faced, Gloria found a way to reclaim her life and spirit. Her book, 'On Angels' Wings: My Flight from Trauma to Grace', serves as a testament to her incredible journey from suffering to healing. During their conversation, Stephan and Gloria explore the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma on self-worth, relationships, and mental health. Gloria opens up about the coping mechanisms that helped her survive and eventually thrive.
She shares her insights on how survivors can reclaim their lives and reminds listeners that the shame of abuse never belonged to them. The episode also touches on the critical need for better government support and resources for survivors of child sexual abuse. Whether you’re a survivor yourself or know someone who is, Gloria’s story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice for finding light after darkness.
