Victim 2 Victor: Healing Trauma & Building Real Love
Healing the Wounds of Parental Abuse with Kate Russell
In this powerful episode of Victim 2 Victor, I’m joined by Kate Russell - memoirist, recovery advocate, and survivor whose story embodies resilience, faith, and fierce honesty.
Kate grew up in the chaos of abuse and addiction, raised by drug-addicted parents whose trauma cast long shadows on her childhood. Following in their footsteps, she too battled addiction before choosing the harder, braver path of recovery. Now, eight years sober, Kate has transformed her pain into purpose through raw and witty storytelling.
Her memoirs - Ironing Out My Life and Down the Rabbit Hole - shine a light on the realities of parental abuse, addiction, and the lifelong process of healing. With candid vulnerability and moments of humor, Kate reminds us that even in our darkest chapters, redemption and resilience are possible.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
- What it’s like growing up with abusive, addicted parents
- How inherited trauma shapes identity and survival patterns
- The role of faith, humor, and writing in healing
- Breaking free from toxic parental bonds and building self-trust
- Why sharing your story can transform shame into empowerment
If you’ve ever struggled with family trauma, addiction, or the weight of silence, Kate’s journey offers hope, courage, and the reminder that healing is always possible.
