From the age of 9 to 12 years old, I was sexually abused in an unthinkable and horrific way by a man in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, I was just one of many boys who were in this same situation. The collateral damage for me manifested itself as anger, resentment, guilt, shame, and eventually addiction.
Have you ever felt any of those same emotions from a similar situation?
Perhaps this is what lead you here.
I also had a mother who always had a chip on her shoulder towards me. I felt like she resented my birth and she told me that I was stupid and called me names, regularly. She also told me that I was incapable and undeserving of success. I honestly felt that I couldn't do anything to please her.
I grew up in the city of Philadelphia and traveled to Southern California in the summers to spend time with my father. I gained my entrepreneurial exposure from his side of the family and knew that I didn't want to live life under someone else's microscope where I would be controlled and judged.
I tried my hand at all types of endeavors, just to remain independent! I painted houses, trained dogs, worked in restaurants for myself, designed shoes & imported them, and even gave network marketing a shot.
As I grew older, I became exhausted of always feeling stuck and not fully understanding why. Finally, I hired a coach in 2011 who enlightened me about emotional addiction, shame, guilt, anger, anxiety, and why I didn't feel worthy.
There are things in our past that we can't control, but we don't need to allow them to define us.
