À propos de cet audio

In this powerful episode, Laurie sits down with Dean Sikes, founder of You Matter and a nationally known speaker who has spent decades bringing hope to students across the country. But before Dean ever stepped on a stage, his life was shaped by two major interruptions—almost losing his mother at a young age, and later, coming face-to-face with the man who sexually abused him at 15… in the middle of Home Depot.

Dean opens up about the trauma he carried for years, the moment everything came rushing back, and the courageous steps he took to finally get help. He shares how healing his own story gave him the clarity and passion to dedicate his life to preventing teen suicide, supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and reminding every young person that their life has value.

This conversation is tender, raw, and deeply hopeful. If you or someone you love has walked through trauma, loss, or silent battles, Dean’s honesty will remind you that healing is possible—and your story still matters.
