Our guest, Kelly joins us on today’s episode to share her story of how she was repeatedly sexually abused by her paternal grandfather between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Sexual abuse has been a common and very heavy topic on the podcast recently but it’s important to continue talking about it to raise awareness and give a voice to those whose stories aren’t believed by greater society. Personally, I came away deeply moved and in awe of Kelly’s resilience and how she has managed to take care of herself through all of this. Not only has she used her experience to write a memoir about taking her grandfather to trial and how childhood sexual abuse affected her throughout her life, but as you’ll hear, she has an incredible entrepreneurial spirit and genuine desire to help people that was born of some really traumatic childhood experiences.
