In today's episode, I interview Autumn, TRIBE founding member, mom of four sons, ICU nurse manager, and one of the most courageous, inspiring, and growth-minded people I know.
Autumn and her siblings were forcibly removed from her biological parents when Autumn was just one year old. For the next two years, the system shuttled her to a succession of twelve foster families; the rapid changes meant she could not attach to anyone, and she missed her siblings terribly.
Later, after reuniting with her birth parents, she was molested by a babysitter. Though the adults around her knew what was going on, she was told to keep quiet, and the abuse continued for over a decade until she finally put a stop to it at age 16 by reporting the childcare agency to the authorities herself.
Like many of us that suffered childhood trauma, Autumn later married an abusive man. She felt a lot of guilt towards her sons for not providing them a safe home, and she blamed herself for not being a better mom.
If you suffered trauma in childhood, a toxic marriage, or guilt as a parent, I know Autumn's story will resonate with you. In this episode, Autumn shares:
— How she mustered the courage to leave her abusive ex-husband
— How she dealt with the guilt of letting her kids down
— How her renewed self-esteem empowered her to set boundaries at work
— How she overcame shame through sharing her story
Since she started her healing journey a few years ago, Autumn's life has been transformed. She lost over 100 lbs, built a workout habit, started a new job, and got promoted into a supervisory role managing ICU nurses. But more importantly, her inner transformation inspired her family to evolve with her, and she inspires fellow TRIBE members to grow with her too.
I am personally deeply inspired by Autumn, and I hope her story will give you hope that even though healing is hard work, the effort is absolutely worth it.
One day, you will look back and be amazed at how far you've come and how much better your life has become. There's no shortcut to healing, but you will reap the rewards for all the effort you put in!​
