Nancy V. Brown: From Survivor to Child Advocate

I think, as an adult especially who went through her horrible experience of sexual abuse, we have responsibilities for other children to show them to lead by example, to show them the courage, to show them the bravery of speaking up, to show them self-belief, to show them that we are someone who they can relate to.
What happens when a survivor turns her pain into a mission of hope? Meet Nancy V. Brown, who, after enduring child abuse and navigating the foster care system, has dedicated her life to advocating for children in similar situations. In this heartfelt episode of the World's Best Trauma Recovery Podcast, Nancy opens up to host Anna Ditchburn about her journey from a troubled past to becoming a beacon of support for vulnerable kids.
Nancy's story begins with her own harrowing experiences of abuse at just five years old. Her path wasn't easy—she faced the foster care system, became a teen mom, and dropped out of high school. But Nancy's resilience shines through as she shares how she transformed these challenges into a drive to help others.
Today, she is not only pursuing a doctoral degree but also runs 'Brave Girls Rise Up', an initiative aimed at creating safe spaces for children to share their stories without shame. In this episode, Nancy discusses the importance of these safe environments and the role adults play in fostering self-belief in children. She emphasizes that healing and transformation are possible, and shares practical advice on how to support children dealing with trauma.
Her message is clear: with the right support, children can overcome their past and build a brighter future. For anyone touched by trauma or looking to make a difference in the lives of abused children, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable insights. Nancy's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact one person can have on countless lives.
