Episode 198: The Good Girl (with Morrene Hauser)

My guest in this episode, Morrene Hauser, spent decades repressing traumatic memories from her childhood. When she finally cracked open that vault, her life all but fell apart. Morrene speaks with raw honesty about surviving a childhood marked by relentless abuse at the hands of her mother and stepfathers. Morrene is driven by a fierce desire to help others by telling her painful but inspiring story. We talk about her upcoming memoir, The Good Girl, and how writing has become both a lifeline and a form of catharsis. Morrene also shares how horses played a powerful role in her healing. This conversation is about survival, reclaiming your own narrative, naming the wounds, and finding a way forward.This is Morrene Hauser’s story.Links related to this episode:Morrene J.
