The purpose of sharing your story is that you never know who will see themselves or who will gain hope from your story.
Imagine being just 10 years old and carrying a secret so heavy it shapes your entire life. Kelly-Anne Appleton knows this all too well. In this heart-wrenching episode of 'Life Unscripted', she recounts her harrowing experience of being sexually abused by her Roman Catholic parish priest. The abuse began with innocent gestures—folding flyers, receiving candy—but quickly escalated into something far more sinister.
For two years, Kelly-Anne endured the abuse, convinced it was her fault, given the untouchable status of priests in her community. Her story takes a turn when she finally opens up to her parents, an emotional moment that underscores the importance of being believed. Now, as a Mindset & Success Coach, Kelly-Anne is dedicated to helping other women reclaim their lives. She has also contributed to a collaborative book, 'She Is Worthy', set to release in Spring 2022.
This episode isn't just about the darkness of her past; it's a testament to her resilience and commitment to healing. Through self-work and speaking out, Kelly-Anne offers a beacon of hope for others who may be suffering in silence. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and understand the profound impact childhood experiences can have on one's self-image and beliefs.
