This moving podcast highlights the struggles of a young woman trying to find her voice in a family dynamic where she was told to “be silent, be good and do as I say.” Our guest, Bethany Fisher relates a poignant story of her abusive childhood at the hands of both her biological and foster parents. Her years of loneliness and striving for perfection so that she could ‘earn’ love, challenged her most formative adolescent years. In the end, she faced her offenders in court and spoke up for the child who was never allowed to defend herself. Her journey in learning how to cope with significant abandonment and abuse teaches us all that we have the power to create our own self talk and ultimately our own “new story”.

Bethany is a Social Worker and works for Partners Mentoring Youth (partnersmentoringyouth.org) in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she matches volunteers with children who need a positive role model in their lives. Her life is a testament to anyone who has struggled against the odds and come out the victor!
