Battling with what I’ve come to learn through professional help, as PTSD, Anxiety and Depression.
From an early age and having been Sexually and Physically Abused by 6 different individuals, one being a Boxing Coach, I began to rely on drugs, sex, violence, and alcohol to neatly evade the traumatic memories of years past. I couldn’t live this way any longer, Broke, Homeless, suicidal, and shattered I attempted suicide again. I couldn’t take the pain any longer living everyday ‘crying inside’. Drugs and alcohol no longer worked so I wrote a note to my amazing son Jesse and once again tried to end my life.
Surviving the disaster and now and 20 years sober free from drugs and alcohol I have a life I could never have dreamt of but living with the memories are often too much to deal with and I am lucky to have the supports I do to live with my condition.
I have spoken at over 800 venues internationally to a collective audience of well over 35,000 teens and adults, speaking in Toledo Ohio, Los Angeles, Toronto, Buffalo NY, Victoria BC, Prince George to name only a few.
