Gloria Masters: Turning Darkness into Light on Steps to Sobriety

I believe that when people are struggling with depression, the ones who are struggling almost as much are the ones who are bearing witness and trying to support.
How do you find hope when life feels unbearably heavy? Gloria Masters might have the answer. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Gloria, an author, speaker, and tireless advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA). Gloria’s story is one of unimaginable hardship, having endured 16 years of abuse, followed by decades of healing. Her journey has transformed her into a beacon of hope for others walking a similar path.
Gloria opens up about her battles with depression, describing how she found glimmers of light in the darkest times. Her first book, 'On Angels’ Wings—My Flight from Trauma to Grace', and her upcoming guide for survivors, 'Flightpath to Healing', are testaments to her resilience and dedication to helping others heal. She also shares her experiences through her podcast, 'Handing the Shame Back', providing a safe space for fellow survivors to tell their stories.
In this heartfelt conversation, Gloria emphasizes the power of sharing survivor stories. She believes that speaking out not only validates personal experiences but also fosters a sense of community and understanding. She talks about the importance of patience and empathy when supporting someone dealing with depression, urging loved ones to allow individuals the space to feel and process their emotions. Gloria's message is clear: even in the darkest moments, there is always something to be grateful for.
Her story is a powerful reminder that hope and light can be found, no matter how deep the darkness. Tune in to 'Steps to Sobriety' for an inspiring discussion that highlights the importance of hope, gratitude, and the courage to share one's story.
