Monica Boglin: Triumph Over Childhood Abuse and Chronic Illness
“Today I had the power- I didn't have the power when I was a child- over a lot of things you know, and I still tell myself, you know, hey wait, I have the power, I have the power to keep myself safe and I deserve to be safe.”
Imagine enduring abuse from those who should protect you and battling a chronic illness on top of it. Monica Boglin's story is one of incredible resilience and hope. Growing up in Puyallup, Washington, Monica faced sexual, physical, and emotional abuse from her own family. Her parents, themselves victims of abuse, perpetuated a cycle of trauma that seemed unbreakable. But Monica defied the odds.
Living with lupus, a painful autoimmune disease often linked to adverse childhood experiences, she has navigated a challenging path to healing and self-discovery. In this episode, Monica shares her transformative journey from victim to survivor-professional. Now a life coach and therapist with a Masters in metaphysical science and counseling, she's on her way to earning a PhD in the same field. Monica opens up about her journey to forgiveness and the pivotal moments that helped her reclaim her life.
She discusses the importance of recognizing all forms of abuse and the power of trauma-informed care in recovery. Monica also highlights the significance of building a support system and finding hope, even in the darkest times. Her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles.
