Childhood Trauma

In this powerful and deeply heartfelt episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with the remarkable Regina Hiremath—a woman whose story is as inspiring as it is raw. Regina shares her courageous journey through layers of childhood trauma, domestic abuse, and emotional battles that followed her into adulthood. From losing her first caretaker at a young age, to enduring instability, abuse, and a decades-long marriage marked by narcissism and manipulation, Regina’s story is a testimony to resilience. With striking honesty, she walks us through what it was like to feel trapped, emotionally stripped, and afraid to ask for help—even as she lived behind the wheel of luxury vehicles and within the walls of a beautiful home. But this episode is not just about pain—it’s about power. Regina shares the pivotal moment she hit rock bottom, the steps she took to reclaim her life, and how she built a new path rooted in therapy, self-reflection, and storytelling. She founded Alimony of Life, a divorce blog turned healing hub for survivors, complete with a private support community, resources, and motivational tools. Now a speaker, advocate, and board member of a domestic violence organization, Regina is turning her past into purpose. Her words will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure of how to start over. If you're searching for proof that healing is possible and joy can return—this is it.
