In their words
-
Hear it at 19:21“PTSD from military sexual trauma. So I have two incidents that happened while I was out in Korea.”
-
Hear it at 25:11“That's when it was like 2018 where I'm just like, you know what? Nobody cares.”
-
Hear it at 25:43“Spiraling, and the alcohol, and waking up on the kitchen floor and I have an empty Jack. That's how my book starts.”
-
Hear it at 37:31“I was like, ‘No, man. I want a divorce.’ No crying, everything was just calm.”
-
Hear it at 37:39“Finally the pain outweighed the fear of leaving.”
-
Hear it at 40:25“It turned all the pain into purpose now.”
-
Hear it at 48:46“You don’t have to fake the funk and act like everything’s okay when it’s not. You don’t have to smile through the pain.”
