    73. Tuesday Truths: The Brutal Beginning That Built a Warrior
    2025/09/08

    Warning: Contains mature content including childhood abuse

    In this deeply moving segment, Steven Falkingham courageously shares the brutal reality of his childhood - surviving severe physical abuse from his father from age 5 to 16. Steven's raw testimony reveals how his father's untreated PTSD from the Northern Ireland War manifested in horrific violence against his youngest son.

    From being strangled at age 5 to enduring daily beatings with ashtrays, coffee mugs, and worse, Steven lived in constant fear throughout his childhood. He describes the trauma of witnessing his father's suicide attempt and the suffocating environment of poverty and neglect that defined his early years.

    Despite everything, Steven's humanity shines through as he explains how he still cared for his father, hoping he could change. This isn't just a story of survival - it's the foundation of understanding how Steven transformed this unimaginable trauma into his greatest strength for helping others.

    Steven's unflinching honesty about living in fear and staying silent in his room reveals why he's now so passionate about standing against bullies and creating healing spaces for others who've experienced similar trauma.

    This is the raw beginning of one of the most powerful transformation stories you'll ever hear.
