Sometimes an interview or story just cuts deep. This interview with Shannon Molloy did exactly that for me. After listening to his book (I love audiobooks!) and talking to him for this episode, I was profoundly moved. Shannon, the author of “You Made Me This Way,” bravely shares his experience of childhood sexual abuse and the impact it has had on his life. His story resonated with me in a way that few others have, leaving an impact. “In sharing my story, I hope to help other men realise they are not alone.” — Shannon Molloy Shannon discusses the challenges men face when dealing with trauma and the importance of breaking the silence. His journey highlights the stigma associated with seeking help and the strength it takes to heal. By opening up about his struggles, Shannon hopes to help other men realise they are not alone and encourage them to seek the support they need. I am grateful to Shannon for sharing his story and for allowing me to share it with you all. This episode is a testament to resilience, courage, and the healing power of vulnerability. Shannon’s book is a must-read for anyone working in mental health. Even if you don’t think you work with trauma, you do—you just don’t know it yet. Listen now to this important discussion on some of the things we don’t often talk about, breaking stigma, recovery, and the urgent need for mental health awareness and support.
