Lyn welcomes Krystal Casey, a motivational speaker and women's empowerment coach, to discuss the sensitive topic of finding your voice and moving on from abuse. Krystal shares her harrowing personal story of discovering her husband's abuse of their daughter, the courageous steps she took to protect her children, and the journey of healing that followed. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Finding & using your voice is a crucial part of overcoming abuse. Speaking out not only helps the individual but also empowers children who may not have the ability to voice their experiences.
• Recognising that generational patterns of abuse can be broken is essential. It requires a conscious effort to address and change these cycles for the benefit of future generations.
• When a child discloses abuse, it is vital for caregivers to believe them and provide support. This validation can significantly positively impact the healing process.
• Trauma can manifest physically and emotionally. Engaging in practices like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation can help release stored trauma and promote healing.
• While accountability for abusers is important, the focus should also be on the healing and well-being of survivors. Finding peace and moving forward is a priority, even amidst mixed feelings about getting justice.

BEST MOMENTS

"Abuse thrives in silence and darkness. Stepping into that light and beginning to use your voice is going to make such an impact."

"I can certainly vouch for the fact that once you've shared, it makes a huge difference."

 "It took me a while to recognise that these generational patterns aren't created in one generation and they won't be broken in one generation."

"Your voice matters. Your story matters. You matter."
