Sexual abuse and why feeling safe, seen, heard and understood is paramount for our children's future, with Jenn Maroney. Episode 22

Raw and Real with Stefanie Fernandes

My guest today is Jennifer Maroney. Jennifer has an incredible story of resiliency that began as a young child, witnessing family violence and being a survivor of sexual assault.
At such a young age, with minimal coping strategies, she began to create a “secret life” which only led to poor boundaries, low self-worth and confidence, and disordered eating patterns. She began at an early age putting on various masks to try and hide from the pain of her life. A public success but a failure in private, her poor choices ultimately caught up to her and she came to a crossroad.
As a mom myself, the thought of my children being sexually assaulted turns my stomach. While I know I cannot protect them from everything in the big wide world out there, I can make sure to create a safe home for them where they feel seen, heard & understood. Where they can trust me with whatever happens to them outside of this loving home.
Jennifer talks to us about the impact this lack of safety in her home had on her future decisions.
