I, I feel, I do feel a lot of pressure and I care a lot.
And I've even had male CEOs pull me aside and say, I was abused as a child.
And like,
Thank you for saying something.
So I've had a lot of men come up to me and share that.
And I think that what's so hard about our world is that there are so many young boys and men who are survivors of sexual abuse and they don't feel comfortable saying anything because our society doesn't.
like there's so much pressure on men to be so tough and be manly and the statistics are so alarming but there's also so many I think it's actually so much more than that there's so many people who are really suffering in silence and I have some people sometimes who I'll be in the grocery store and they're like my abuse happened 50 years ago you're the only person I've ever told and so I can't even tell you how much I've had to work on in therapy of
Like not overthinking what I say and worrying because I know from personal experience when we share what we've been through with someone and it's the only person, the first person, like that is so correlated to how they're going to heal is being validating to them.
So I feel I felt so much pressure and now I...
have found that when I'm honest and just real with them and just supportive, that people are always like so understanding.
And I think people who have been through hard times always like give people the benefit of the doubt and are there for each other.
But it is, it's really, it has affected me so much.
And it's interesting.
I've never, I've never actually shared this publicly at all because it's been something that I deal with
I'd say most days.
And I think that I've thought about this a lot where I think that if I didn't train so intensely my whole entire life and I didn't experience trauma in my teenage years and younger years, I have actually been
hospitalized several times for just like my body has I read something on Instagram that I think really encapsulates it it says if you don't pick a day to rest your body will pick it for you and it was it's happened twice where it's been like this intense but I feel like I have different minor issues as well depending on what I'm going through at the time but where like I have literally stroke like symptoms I
I can't remember my name.
I'm like slurring my words.
I can barely speak.
