On Today’s Episode:

It is beyond disheartening that it’s believed that 90% of sexual abuse victims never say a word about their abuse to anyone. According to NAASCA.org, 50-60 million American adults have been sexually abused in their childhood.

Unfortunately, the emotional trauma inflicted upon us as children doesn’t magically disappear. If you or someone you know has been a victim of childhood abuse, or any kind of abuse, our hearts are with you. If you are here, hopefully it means that you are on a journey seeking healing and ready to claim your power.

Anne Heche is an Emmy Award winning actress that has been in more movies that we can name such as Donnie Brasco, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even Dancing with the Stars! She’s brave, she’s bold, and so beautiful. She’s also a woman that learned to stand up and tell her truth, live her truth and take back her power from the abusive and traumatic childhood she experienced.

In the conversation with Lisa, Anne shares the wisdom and hard lessons she’s learned from getting up and taking responsibility and taking action on the things that gave her the power she needed to reclaim her life and start loving herself. Her open, raw, powerful display of what it means to find your worth, love hard, and release the pain that was pushed on her at a young age may be the thing to hear today.

Anne’s mantra: You are not your abuse
