My Mother Betrayed Me, I Became a Mom at 16, and I Refused to Stay a Victim

from YourChapters,YourStory · host Teresa Schindlbeck

Let’s get real—I should have been another statistic. My own mother allowed my sexual abuse, I became a teen mom at 16, and for years, I felt trapped in a cycle I never chose. But I made a decision: My past would not define me. In this raw, unfiltered episode of Your Chapters, Your Story, I sit down with a close friend to share the details I’ve never spoken about publicly—the truth of my childhood, the betrayal, the pain, and how I turned it into fuel to build a million-dollar company in my early 20's and change my future. If you think your past is holding you back, this episode will prove that you have the power to own your story and rewrite your life.
