Sexual abuse is REAL and as much as we try to avoid the hard conversations about exposing it, it needs to be spoken about in order to create awareness...and that's why I wanted to speak with Paul Remmer on the podcast. Before we got going into Paul's incredibly powerful and thought-provoking story, we gave credit to former business partner Perry Power for launching his new book "breaking the silence". Link below in the show notes. With that, we dove into Paul's story (this was pretty tough to hear) going back to when he was just 5 years old, having his innocence taken away through a heinous act, causing him to live with PTSD for years to come. He then broke his silence in only to be met with resistance (like many victims of sexual abuse). The full story will blow your mind.. We also spoke about why fitness plays such a huge role in his life and how significant it has been in aiding his recovery as a survivor and his vision moving forward, both on stage and off stage as he steps into the role of becoming a higher performing athlete, and author himself. Bare in mind this episode (like all episodes) is for 18's and over - as it contains disturbing descriptions. Please only listen if you are ready to hear what we had to say. On another note, if you know someone who has been affected by the things we discussed, send them this episode, it may help them in breaking their silence with the world.
