Mi Propio Diamante, My Own Diamond with Kati Chavez

[Content Warning]: Child Sexual AbuseKatiuska (Kati) Chavez is a young lady with a huge heart for survivors of child sexual abuse. She reached out to us after listening to our podcast and watching “A Friend of the Family,” and we immediately made a connection. Kati is a lifestyle blogger, who is also a survivor of child sexual abuse.  She supports survivors on her social media pages, where she educates for prevention. Kati was recently awarded a scholarship to learn how to become an orator/motivational speaker and her ultimate goal is to start a foundation called , Mi Propio Diamante (My Own Diamond), which aims to empower survivors and promote healing. She shares her personal journey of healing and how her parents' support and her spirituality was imperative in her process. Kati talks about her volunteer work with Victim Services, and the need to support children as well as adults who are striving to heal from all types of abuse.  In this conversation, Kati and Jan discuss the vital need to educate children about safe touch and consent and why these conversations need to start early in order to be effective.  Kati is an inspiration to other young survivors. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the influence of her advocacy efforts and her dedication to effecting change.Follow Kati:Instagram: @katichb  @mipropiodiamanteTik tok: @KatiiichbIf you are someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:🍎 Review on Apple🎶 Review on Spotify✍ Share Your Story🌐 Podcast Website🔴 YouTube📷 Instagram   Jan Broberg Foundation:💝 Foundation Website📒  The Jan Broberg Story🗞   Sign Up For Our Newsletter💞 Thrivivors💌 Fan Mail Support the show
