    Remember when you couldn't talk about it, AT ALL? Let's talk about it cause we finally can.

    I remember a time when you could not talk about sex, sexual abuse, or anything close to trafficking and the horrors of what happens. But today we can, and that is why it is so important to know the power of telling your story. Your history may be rapped in shame and embarrassment, but that was so 2 months ago. Now, you can own it, heal from it, and change the world with it. Abuse happens, and survivors either stay blindly victimized, become the abuser, or survive, heal, and live as the leaders, change makers, and healers that so many are. In this episode, I share the power of your story and the 3 reasons writing it will set you free and help the world as well. It is time to talk about it and transcend.

    In this bold and compassionate episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua unpacks a powerful truth: You can’t fully heal from childhood sexual abuse if you keep reliving it emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.While awareness is essential, fixating on the trauma keeps survivors trapped in the very pain they’re trying to escape.

    The Final Sheading of the 2025 skin - Healing Beyond Bypassing

    As we close out 2025, this powerful episode of More Than Sex and Secrets invites you to reflect on your healing journey, not just the parts that feel good, but the ones you’ve been avoiding. Next year, 2026, we will be focusing on your worth, worthiness, and value - a topic that no one talks about in relation to sexual abuse, and it is time you stand in your value and abundance flows. But before we do - this episode. I unpack the real work of healing by exploring spiritual, mental, and emotional bypassing, those hidden habits we adopt to appear okay when we're still carrying wounds. From saying "I’m fine" to using spirituality as a shield, this episode shines a light on how bypassing keeps us stuck in cycles of pain, shame, and unworthiness.Through personal stories and psychological insight, we go deeper into how bypassing keeps survivors surviving, healing, and dealing, and guides you to stop holding it all together and finally start validating your own truth. If you’ve ever felt abandoned, unseen, or forced to smile through the pain… this one’s for you.✨ It’s not about being positive all the time.It’s about being whole, witnessed, and empowered.Your InvitationIf you're ready to move from healing into wholeness, sovereignty, and soul-aligned relationships, join us inside the YOU Matter Club — a sanctuary for deep self-worth, real tools, and powerful manifestation.
