Send us a textWelcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast.All I have is my pride, but what happens when that is stripped away and you have nothing.I spent the majority of my life as a victim.Sexually abused as a teenager and into my adult life.Homeless at the age of 14, with nothing apart from the clothes on my back. As I walked the streets, with no shoes, shelter or food, I was a victim.I faced violence, gun crime and my own struggles with drugs and alcohol.Abuse continued in a different form as I spent 11 years in a relationship that looked like the perfect life from the outside.I've never spoken about one of the most humbling experiences of my life, when I tried to take my own life. As I bled, the pain of life seemed to fade. That day an angel must have been looking over me because now I am ready to tell my whole story.Today, I am grateful to be alive and to have the opportunity to share more about my journey with you.Thank you for tuning in.S xWatch it here: https://youtu.be/oj-9Qb7DQ6ETHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase here Beyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here Find Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bb
