One of the things that I learned in my journey of telling my story, when I have told older people, and I mean 70 and older, they will tell me for the first time what happened to them and I found that fascinating in the beginning because I'm like why and someone said everyone wants their story told before they die including your mom.
How do you turn life's darkest moments into a story of hope and healing? In this moving episode of the Redemption Podcast, hosts Stacey and Julia sit down with Mary Havens and her sister Sharon Bulawa to explore just that. Mary, the author of 'The Shadows in My Heart', opens up about her challenging upbringing and the profound impact her mother's passing had on her life.
She shares the emotional journey that led her to write her book, a tale that resonates with anyone who has faced hardship and sought a way through it. Sharon, too, offers her perspective, discussing her own battles for validation and understanding amidst family struggles and trauma. Their candid conversation touches on the complexities of family dynamics, the enduring scars of abuse, and the difficult path towards self-acceptance.
The episode doesn't shy away from the tough topics but instead shines a light on the sisters' resilience and their ongoing journey towards redemption and self-forgiveness. This episode is a testament to the power of sharing one's story and finding strength in vulnerability. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or simply seeking inspiration, Mary and Sharon's narratives offer a heartfelt reminder that healing is possible.
