Shownotes

Cindy Benezra is an author, inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, sexual abuse advocate and founder of CindyTalksTM, a platform where she discusses healing tools and stories of hope for other trauma survivors.  Cindy grew up in a family in middle America but her Father was a pedophile and she has gone through a long process of healing to help her deal with the sexual, physical and mental abuse she suffered.

Cindy thinks pedophilia is still a taboo subject and that people are still very resistant to talking about it but she wants to have a platform for discussions about sexual abuse predators. She feels comfortable talking about what happened to her now because she doesn't define herself by the abuse or want to be seen as a victim. There is nothing holding her in that place anymore because she has no grief or shame about it and feels free of any words, feeling or emotions around it.

In this podcast:

  • Why a willingness to heal is essential to the acceptance process
  • The importance of not defining yourself by abuse
  • Why we need to share hope.
