No one likes to talk about physical or sexual abuse, which can lead to victims of this kind of abuse to not want to talk about it either. I bring on Ben Pugh, my friend and a fellow life coach, to talk about his experience of being a victim of sexual & physical abuse as well as his experience helping victims as a principal and foster parent. We approach this very serious topic in a way that’s not too heavy for listeners. I hope all parents and teens find our conversation helpful, whether they’ve been a victim of abuse or not.
