I love this. I'm 73 young. 15 years old I was raped by my father. My mother didn't believe me. I was never ashamed I was 15 years old. I told what happened. I was a virgin. My mother took me to the doctor he confirmed I was raped. I called the police and my mother would not press charges. Detective Banks I would be sent to a g irls home. My mother sent me live with her friend in a other city. I cried 10 years. Because I was forced to leave my family through no fault of my own. I am successful today and I share my stories with women on my tv show and when I speak to inspire women. This is the beginning of my life. I have endured so much in my life. Dropped out of high school because I got pregnant. Then married had 3 more children. Started a school. Divorced. Got 2 degrees. Bought my home Bankruptcy and so much more. I am an author, looking for love at 73 and sharing my stories because our experiences are not for us but for others. Thank you for sharing your stories. God bless you Queens.

52:44 "the more you hide the shame is the more it takes over you and becomes toxic!

This woman is beautiful, powerful and inspiring! Absolute royalty! I needed this today. I’m sitting in my lowest low, starting over at 50 from scratch like my life has been a long suffering waste. I’m so grateful for this incredible person!
-
Im currently on my healing journey and loving all the amazing things i'm discovering about me.
-
When you had a hard life you become resilient ,not all people do,but the brave do.
-
OMG. When I first saw her I thought to myself, “She is so beautiful!!”
-
I always lived by: "share your story, you never know when you are going to unlock someone else's prison." I have noticed that some people are very uncomfortable when others are vulnerable around them. And that is the sticky part, to be compassionate of others while being true to yourself.
-
I love that word that relationship shouldn't be something fulfilling you but a compliment on what already you're.That is very true.
-
I really needed to hear this. It’s so true that we as women are programmed to care for everyone but ourselves. It’s time for a change and I choose to treat myself better.
-
This is such a powerful "chat" between two truly inspirational women. It really didn't feel like an interview to me - more like two likeminded souls coming together, sharing of themselves with the rest of us, so that we can learn and grow from our past in ways that can take us from the battlefield to the boardroom. I have learned, cried, laughed and felt the most inspired in 2024. I will definitely keep this one on repeat. You hit sooo many truths that speak to my own journey and I am sure countless others. Kudos to you both.💞
-
42:47 when you speak out the truth, your body knows, and lets it go! ❤😊
-
May we all receive and accept the healing we need so can step outside of our comfort zone, be our authentic self and tell our story! There are people assigned to You waiting to hear your story. 🙏🏾💚

Thank you Ms. Sonja Stribling and Lisa Bilyeu for this amazing, authentic interview. Feels like two good friends chatting it up. So much gem from Ms. Sonja. I loved the question "Am I hurt or injured? can I, or will I get back up?". Powerful stuff. and Lisa you reminding us to Pivot & things do not happen TO me, it happens FOR me.
-
Dr. Sonja! I met her virtually through Periscope about 9 years ago and here she is! Beautiful, inspirational. You both make for an amazing episode!

59:15 awww I'm sooo sorry you went through that! 😭He's inadequate, insecure, and ugly! You are beautiful!❤

I’m a survivor. Divorced after 22years. #FDI #toxicbond Dr Sonja mentored. Coaching catapults pain to power. Happy for a new life.🎉
