Betrayed by Blood:

This week’s episode of the Break Phree Podcast features a woman named Shantill, whose story is both heartbreaking and powerful. At just 13 years old, her uncle was supposed to be giving her a ride home — but instead, he made a detour that changed her life forever. The assault left her pregnant, alone, and carrying a burden no child should ever face. In the midst of this trauma, tragedy struck again when her mother committed suicide, leaving her without the support she desperately needed. To make matters worse, her aunt wanted nothing to do with her, accusing her of “sleeping with her man” instead of protecting her. Shantill’s journey is one of pain, survival, and unimaginable strength. Tune in as she shares her truth and the path she took to rise above what was meant to destroy her.
