I started this podcast because I felt I had a story to tell. As an incest survivor, I wanted others to know that life does not suddenly become great because abuse ends; but that is when the real work begins. Child abuse has affected all aspects of my life, and its damage is always the elephant in the room. While every topic will not be about abuse, it's aftermath is the reason why I think and feel as I do. I will use this platform to share my thoughts and feelings about marriage, motherhood, and myself from the perspective of someone who has lived through unspeakable physical and emotional injury. If my life's experiences can help someone else get through whatever abuse or challenges they may be facing, then I have done a great thing by sharing. This podcast is for anyone who has a lot to say and no one who will listen. It is for that person who feels ashamed for having unconventional thoughts about their life and are afraid to voice them. It is for women who have realized that marriage, motherhood, and dealing with self-awareness is not as easy or as fun as you thought it would be. If this is you, then welcome to Being Overtly Debbie. New Episodes will be released every Monday and Thursday.
