⬇️⬇️⬇️ Dont Be A Victim In Your Own Story ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I was intentionally starved by my own mother while my family watched and said nothing. I was placed in foster care at 12. I was kicked out at 18 with no money, no plan, and no security
Despite all of this, I built a beautiful life anyway.
Not because my circumstances got easier, but because I made a decision to refuse to be a victim of my own story.
In this video I'm talking about what that actually means. Not the inspirational poster version, the real, raw version. The one that requires something of you.
✨ What we're getting into today:
💭 Where I started, the intentional starvation, foster care, parentification
💭 What it actually means to refuse victimhood (not toxic positivity, radical responsibility)
💭 The excuses that are keeping you stuck right now
💭 How to create your own opportunity when nobody handed you one
💭 What I built from nothing and what you can build too
This is not about minimizing your pain. It's about refusing to let your pain be the ceiling.
