I want to let everyone know that the hurt that you've been through and the pain that you've been through, none of it was your fault.
What happens when someone takes the darkest parts of their past and transforms them into a source of strength and healing? Monica Boglin’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of self-discovery. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Monica joins host Bill Murray to share her experiences of surviving sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of her family.
Despite the profound pain and the additional challenge of living with Lupus, an autoimmune disease linked to adverse childhood experiences, Monica has found ways to heal and thrive. Monica's journey is not just about surviving but finding purpose and joy after the pain. She talks about how realizing that the abuse was not her fault was a crucial step in her healing process.
This realization helped her to start forgiving the unforgivable and to set firm boundaries to keep harmful influences out of her life. One of Monica’s key messages is the importance of finding joy in everyday activities. For her, reading became a sanctuary, a way to escape and find happiness in different worlds. She also emphasizes the value of balancing work and life, and even the simple power of taking a nap.
Another powerful point Monica makes is about the benefits of sharing your story. By opening up in support groups, she found comfort and inspiration from others who were on similar healing journeys. This act of sharing not only helped her release pain and shame but also motivated her to help others. Monica’s story is both inspiring and practical, offering listeners tangible advice on how to find joy and purpose after experiencing trauma.
Whether you’re a survivor yourself or know someone who is, this episode provides a beacon of hope and practical steps towards healing.
