Finding Truth Behind Vegas Lights: A Survivor Speaks | Conversations Of Redemption

Описание: This conversation begins in Las Vegas, but it reaches far beyond the city.
A raw, honest dialogue about childhood trauma, identity, silence, and what it truly takes to heal.

This is Episode One of Conversations of Redemption.

In Las Vegas, I sit down with a man who spent decades believing the trauma he endured as a child was his fault — something he “chose.”

What unfolds is not an interview.
It’s a reckoning.

Together, we explore how unspoken trauma shapes behavior, identity, addiction, power, and survival — and how truth, when finally spoken, can begin to dismantle decades of shame.

This series exists to break silence where it has protected harm.
To humanize trauma without sanitizing it.
And to show that redemption is not a moment — it is a process.

These conversations are not about shock value.
They are about honesty, accountability, and healing — spoken by people who lived it.
