Send us a textSherrie is BackSherrie Allsup is an international speaker, educator, and subject matter expert with lived experience. She speaks on topics such as sexual assault, sexual abuse, trauma, and suicide. Sherrie is a survivor of long-term sexual abuse, trauma, and suicide attempts. After much hard work and healing she became the founder and CEO of Courage Starts With You. For victims, Courage means telling someone and reaching out for help. For law enforcement, Courage means looking beyond the traditional victim interview technique to recognize how and why victims of assault may act differently than victims of crimes. She purchased a cemetery plot, purchased the outfit she wanted to be buried in, and made the decision that morning was going to be the day Sherrie Allsup no longer lived to endure the pain she lived daily throughout her life. Yet, those were not the cards that she was dealt. That was the moment that she began to take her power back. Sherrie Allsup's journey took a profound turn when faced with the contemplation of ending her life, she instead chose to reclaim her power. She now travels and shares her story to shine a light on the lifelong challenges that sexual abuse and trauma leave behind. Her pieces of training are centered around shining a light on the dark epidemic of sexual abuse and assault. She is also a member of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest, and Neglect Network). She says, “Trauma victims almost live plan to plan or we wouldn't survive.” Embracing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy, Sherrie embarked on a new chapter. In her own words, “This sentiment encapsulates her life, where she navigated each moment with a flickering flashlight, battling the pain that haunted her daily. Determined to break free from the past, she decided that the grip of her father's years of abuse is not going to define her”.

This episode references to sexual assault and other mature themes. The chapters we fear the most often hold the keys to our liberation. For Brittani, confronting the sexual assault she endured at 13 was not just a reckoning—it was a battle for her own voice. Her journey was anything but straightforward, winding through years of suppressed memories, silent struggles, and an internal war she fought alone. For 14 years, Brittani carried the weight of her silence, hiding behind walls that had protected her for so long. But when she finally began therapy and shared her story with her loved ones, those walls started to crumble. Piece by piece, she dismantled the silence that had held her captive, discovering a resilience she hadn't known was there. Now, Brittani isn't just surviving her past, she's facing it head-on, reclaiming her power, and rewriting her future.

This episode references domestic violence and other mature themes. [Lou's Story Part 3/3] Two women, bound by a shared history of manipulation and abuse. What started as Lou's solitary search for a single photograph spiraled into an unexpected connection with Eve —another woman ensnared by the same dark past. Together, they began to unearth what had long been buried, but the truth is rarely kind, and it only reveals itself when you're ready to face what lies beneath. Piece by painful piece, Lou and Eve began reclaiming their stories, finding strength in the solidarity of their shared resilience. But the funny thing about diving into your past is you don't know how much weight you're going to have to shed before you can come up for air.

This episode references domestic violence and other mature themes. [Lou's Story Part 2/3] Lou is searching for a photograph of John — but it's not just a picture she's after. Beneath the surface of one man's destruction lies a tangled web of resilience and buried truths waiting to be uncovered. In this chapter layers of manipulation are stripped away, exposing the hauntingly intertwined lives of Eve and Lou —two women forever linked by their shared past with John. As their stories unfold, they confront the ripple effects of trauma, the sinister disguises of control, and the power of reclaiming what was never his to take. From pregnancies to escapes, from shattered illusions to hard-fought reckonings, Lou and Eve retrace their paths, confronting the past as they piece together their present. Each revelation brings them closer to understanding not only John's shadow over their lives, but the strength they've found in breaking free from it.

This episode references domestic violence and other mature themes. [Lou's Story Part 1/3] Lou's story isn't just about survival—it's a battle cry of reclamation. In this chapter she unravels the deeply personal account of her entanglement with John, her manipulative and abusive ex-boyfriend. The emotional wounds of their relationship left scars that refused to fade, but it was the unexpected moment of seeing him again years later that pulled her back into the shadows of her past. As the trauma resurfaced, Lou found herself grappling with questions she thought she had buried. In retracing the steps of her formative years and confronting the weight of generational trauma, Lou begins to piece together a path toward recovery. But healing isn't a straight line — it's a labyrinth of pain, resilience, and startling realizations that could change everything.

Our stories rarely unfold the way we expect. In the first eight chapters, Brittani Ard uncovered something about herself she never expected: the most powerful weapon she had was her own voice. It wasn't just a tool for healing — it was a force strong enough to confront her past and rewrite her future. But that discovery came at a cost. Retracing Kanon's steps wasn't just heartbreaking, it was a journey through pain, betrayal, and revelations since childhood that she wasn't prepared to face. Yet, amidst the wreckage of chasing a love that was never meant to be, Brittani found something even more extraordinary — true love, waiting in the most unexpected place. Season 2 isn't just about Brittani's story. It's about what happens when you refuse to be a victim of your own narrative. When you step into the raw, unfiltered truth of who you are and decide to own it. It turns out vulnerability isn't a weakness. It's where courage collides with strength, and where the most surprising chapters of life begin to take shape. *Some names and details have been changed to conceal the identities of those who wish to remain anonymous.

Ep. 147 In this episode of Fearless Fridays with Maryann, special guest Patty Cabot shares her 20-year struggle with weight fluctuations and how she discovered that her eating disorder was a result of childhood sexual abuse. Through therapies like EMDR and chiropractic care, Patty embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and finding a supportive tribe. Patty's memoir, "Not That Girl Anymore," is available for free on her website, where she aims to provide hope and resources for those who have experienced trauma. The Misconception of Physical Appearance Dictating Love Patty Cabot's sincere narrative begins with a raw admission of what many individuals struggle with silently—body image and its perceived effect on love and relationships. Her journey mirrors a society that fosters a narrow understanding of attractiveness, which becomes mistakenly synonymous with romantic success. Patty reflects, "I found myself unacceptable when I was heavy," a confession that slices through the complex layers of self-esteem. This psychological battle is a climate ripe for eating disorders, often manifesting as coping mechanisms for emotional turbulence. Regardless of Patty's prowess in dieting, the persistent cycles of weight gain and loss signified a deeper, unresolved discord.

In 2005, at the age of 38, I started working with a therapist that specializes in eating disorders, trauma and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She thought my issues with food and weight were a symptom of a much deeper issue: my childhood sexual abuse. I was sexually abused by family members until I was 10. For much of my life I would have chosen death before revealing that, so deep was my shame. But I was desperate to find love and believed resolving my weight was key. So began the next 12 years of my life working with my therapist using EMDR, a chiropractor to release trapped fight or flight responses, a sex therapist and group therapy for sexual abuse.

The Netflix series “Baby Reindeer” written by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd based on the true story of a period in his life when he was stalked by a woman whom he gave a free cup of tea while working as a bartender in London, has been burning itself into the eyeballs and psyches of millions of people. Lisa was fascinated by the hit show's unflinching honesty, style, structure and incredible performances by both Gadd and Jessica Gunning. Joining Lisa and Dean to break it all down is another incredible actor, David Rysdahl. You may remember David from this season's “Fargo”, playing sweet “Wayne” the husband of Juno Temple's “Dot”. His other credits include “Oppenheimer”, “Black Mirror” and he is currently shooting Noah Hawley's new “Alien” series in Bangkok. David shares his reaction to “Baby Reindeer” and the aspects of Gadd's character “Donny Dunn” that he identifies with. David performed for years in New York as a clown and was part of the “alt” comedy scene. We talk about Hollywood predators, the insecurities of fame…and so much more. Join us for the conversation.

In today's True Crime Tuesday, we peel back the curtain on a trio of horrendous cases. Our first case takes us into the twisted world of Roger Hughes, a man who stands accused of 119 counts of unspeakable acts against children. The story unravels with a standoff and leads to a shocking discovery of warrants for his arrest. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a trail of trafficking, sodomy, and rape. Roger's extensive rap sheet, which I'll share on Patreon (patreon.com/loveandmurder), is a grim testament to his descent from DUIs to heinous crimes against the innocent.Next, we confront the betrayal of trust with the case of Officer Daniel Julian, charged with using his police training to commit the very crimes he's sworn to stop. A female officer becomes his victim, but her quick thinking leads to a recording that captures the horror. As the case unfolds in court, we grapple with the grim irony and await justice.Finally, we honor the memory of Kulsuma Akter, a mother whose life was tragically cut short in broad daylight as she walked with her baby. The manhunt for suspect Habibur Masum grips Bradford, England, with fear and sorrow. The police plea for your help to bring the perpetrator to justice.Join the conversation and let your voice be heard. This week's poll asks whether Officer Daniel should have been immediately fired or justly suspended pending the verdict.

Sherrie Allsup is an international speaker, educator, and subject matter expert with lived experience. She speaks on topics such as sexual assault, sexual abuse, trauma, and suicide. Sherrie is a survivor of long-term sexual abuse, trauma, and suicide attempts. After much hard work and healing she became the founder and CEO of Courage Starts With You. For victims, Courage means telling someone and reaching out for help. For law enforcement, Courage means looking beyond the traditional victim interview technique to recognize how and why victims of assault may act differently than victims of crimes. She purchased a cemetery plot, purchased the outfit she wanted to be buried in, and made the decision that morning was going to be the day Sherrie Allsup no longer lived to endure the pain she lived daily throughout her life. Yet, those were not the cards that she was dealt. That was the moment that she began to take her power back. Sherrie Allsup's journey took a profound turn when faced with the contemplation of ending her life, she instead chose to reclaim her power. She now travels and shares her story to shine a light on the lifelong challenges that sexual abuse and trauma leave behind.Her pieces of training are centered around shining a light on the dark epidemic of sexual abuse and assault. She is also a member of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest, and Neglect Network). She says, “Trauma victims almost live plan to plan or we wouldn't survive.” Embracing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy, Sherrie embarked on a new chapter. In her own words, “This sentiment encapsulates her life, where she navigated each moment with a flickering flashlight, battling the pain that haunted her daily. Determined to break free from the past, she decided that the grip of her father's years of abuse is not going to define her”.Find SherrieWebsiteFacebookLinkedinFind The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramMike Failace InstagramBuzzsproutApple PodcastSpotifyFacebookTikTokYouTubeThe Suffering Podcast FamilyToyota of HackensackPoPl Discount code TSP20The Oakley KitchenCubita CafeSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube

It is important to find a definition that aligns with one's own healing journey.Writing can be a cathartic tool for processing trauma, but it is essential to prioritize self-care and engage in grounding practices outside of writing.Memory is unreliable, and our brains can create different narratives of the same events. It is important to be aware of the limitations of memory when writing memoirs.Connecting with mentors and finding inspiration from other writers can be instrumental in developing one's own writing style and pursuing a career in writing.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Trigger Warning00:59 Introduction of Guest01:56 Breaking the Cycle of Abuse04:30 The Intersection of Poverty, Abuse, and Addiction09:25 Recognizing Signs of Abuse and Neglect12:30 The Complexity of Forgiveness21:26 The Intimacy and Vulnerability of Memoir Writing24:55 Mentors and Inspirations29:36 Self-Care and Writing Practices38:19 Cutting Out Parts of the Book and Surprises in the Writing Process42:23 Upcoming Project45:06 Connecting with Brittany Means46:13 Final TakeawayResources:Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are people and organizations ready to provide support.

When you were growing up, did you have a host of great role models when it came to how to be a good man?No, probably not. The vast majority of men with whom we work lacked solid role models for healthy masculinity, both at home and at school. This damaged their ability to succeed in dating, relationships, and sex, and led to a lot of suffering.Scott Kaltenbaugh is working to change that. He's in the school system working in the classroom as well as doing one-on-one mentorship with boys and young men. The goal is to teach them how to be "a calm but assured version of masculinity."But how do you do that? What do you teach, and how do you describe what it is to wield power? Listen for a fascinating view into an inspiring potential future for us as a culture. (Also, if you have sons or may have sons in the future, this one will be of particular interest to you.)---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast? Jason and I are ready to work with you!

Joining us for the discussion is The Losers' Club podcast co-host Jenn Adams!
