Hey! Welcome to the pod. I do stand up about getting molested as a kid. Talking and laughing about it helps me deal with it. Hoping others will get similar benefits. Thanks for listening :)
The What happened to you? podcast is a powerful and necessary platform that tackles the difficult and often silenced topic of trauma and abuse. Sebastian, the host, along with his guests, share their personal stories in a raw and authentic way. Despite initially being hesitant to listen, I am grateful that I did because these narratives are painful yet incredibly powerful. The individuals on this podcast are courageous and strong, discussing topics that need to be openly talked about for there to be true change in this world. It is evident that there is so much love behind this podcast.
One of the best aspects of The What happened to you? podcast is the way it opens up conversations about trauma and abuse. Sebastian's interviews reveal the importance of talking about our experiences instead of keeping them hidden out of fear or shame. Through sharing their stories, these individuals demonstrate that it is okay to speak up, that we cannot control what happened to us but we can control how we handle it now and in the future. The road to healing and recovery may be challenging, but it can be done with moments of laughter along the way. This podcast provides a space that makes listeners laugh, cry, and feel connected to others.
While The What happened to you? podcast has many strengths, one area for improvement is the technical quality in some early episodes. Sound quality and editing could have been better at times. However, it is clear that Sebastian is growing into his role as a podcaster and improving over time. Despite these minor flaws, the importance of the topic being covered with grace and even humor shines through.
In conclusion, The What happened to you? podcast is an essential listen for anyone looking to understand trauma and abuse from a personal perspective. Sebastian's bravery in sharing his own story alongside his stand-up comedy acts about it demonstrates the impact opening up can have on both healing oneself and helping others start their own journey towards healing. This podcast breaks down stigmas and contributes to the destruction of harmful societal norms. It is an incredible platform that sheds light on a topic that has needed to be discussed openly for far too long. Sebastian and his guests are making a difference, and their voices deserve to be heard.
