À propos de cet audio
ln this deeply moving episode of Own Your Story, Vanessa opens up about what it was like growing up in the shadow of a parent’s addiction. She shares the emotional and social weight of secrecy—the fear of judgment, the silence at school, and the constant need to appear “okay” even when life at home wasn’t.
Through her story, Vanessa reveals how hiding pain for so long shaped her sense of identity, trust, and relationships. She discusses the moment she finally broke the silence, how speaking her truth became the first step toward healing, and the power that comes from turning shame into strength.
The conversation reminds listeners that they are not defined by their family’s addiction and that healing begins the moment we choose honesty over silence.
