Podcasts about sexual abus

Send us a textAmanda Harris has experienced significant childhood trauma, a wildly violent abusive relationship in her late teens and early 20's and has battled and overcome addiction and various other adversities including losing everything she owned in a house fire! However, Her greatest awakening, and the birth of her business, came after the loss of her sister to suicide while, Amanda was eight months pregnant. This experience took her to the depths of her soul where she experienced PTSD, anxiety and severe depression. There was a lot of self sabotage, escapism and self destruction before the moment of her awakening where she realized no one was coming to save her - she had to save herself!It was in her own rise from darkness, that she knew with absolute certainty, that her soul purpose was to support, empower and heal others. Amanda launched her business. She became deeply passionate about her purpose, and highly motivated to learn, acquiring many certifications to support her work. She now works with women one on one and in group settings supporting them to remember their power, assisting them in overcoming adversity and teaching powerful soul Lessons. Her superpower is transformation. Amanda believes we are here to experience the challenges, as this is how we grow as souls. Enjoy!FB: HTTPS://www.Facebook.com/AmandaHarrisHealingIG:  HTTPS://www.Instagram.com/AmandaHarrrisHealingSupport the show

We begin this show by becoming aware of the date and how long Damon has been clean. We then dive into Damon as a child athlete and the sexual abuse at age 9 from a babysitter and what this led to. We discuss being under the Friday Night Lights in 5A of Texas football. Damon had the very rare opportunity to be on the sidelines of the Dallas Cowboys with Coach Jimmy Johnson and how this door was open. Being a D1 college QB at North Texas U,  the injures that cut his career short and what path that led him to. Damon was working with US Congress, Wall St, and on a US Presidential Campaign before being introduced to meth. How fast he became an addict. Being known as The Uptown Burglar-how long this was going on until July 30, 2008. We get the in-depth explanation of how that day unfolded, the 10 months being in the county jail, the gasp from his Mother when he was sentenced to what she said to him before he was taken to a Texas Maximum Prison. The process of getting himself off drugs, being an inmate for the first few days, and living in Texas Prison with no air conditioning. Listen to this excellent advice Damon received from Mr. Jackson at the county jail and what the lessons are of The Coffee Bean. (Get a pen and paper ready). After being paroled he explains what the call to action is and how racism needs to be addressed. (Please give this your undivided attention!) Damon ends the show with how he was able to go back and speak to the inmates at Stiles Prison. Links:Official Website: https://damonwest.org/Follow Damon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/damonwest7/The Change Agent Book: https://www.amazon.com/Change-Agent-College-Sentenced-Transformed/dp/1642931020/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=damon+west&qid=1608076462&sr=8-1The Coffee Bean Book: https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Bean-Simple-Lesson-Positive/dp/1119430275/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=damon+west&qid=1608076549&sr=8-3Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beforethelightspodcast/Reflection Bay Golf Club: https://reflectionbaygolf.com/Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/beforethelightsBefore the Lights Merchandise: https://www.beforethelightspod.com/merch The Extra 5Listen to Damon speak about how fast he spun out of controlThe low point of stealing from his grandmotherHelping the city of Port Arthur, TX after Hurricane HarveyThe power of social mediaSupport the show (https://www.beforethelightspod.com/member-areas)
