Episode 6 · She Remembered So I Could Forget

In this episode of Earth Tones, we enter the tender and powerful story of a woman whose childhood carried both unbearable weight and remarkable resilience. Molested by her grandfather and raised in what looked like a “typical” Mormon family, she grew up learning how to survive by letting her younger self shield her from memories too heavy to hold. ❤️‍🩹

Her journey didn’t end there. She stepped into an unhealthy marriage, faced the unraveling of what she thought life should look like, and made the courageous choice to step out and create an authentic life of her own. Along the way, she did something few survivors ever imagine: she asked her abuser to contribute financially to her healing.

This conversation is about memory and protection, about the child within us who keeps vigil, and about the extraordinary courage it takes to reclaim your life and live it in truth. ✨ She remembered, so I could forget.
