A few weeks ago, our YouTube Channel passed 100,000 subscribers.

It's a big deal, not just because of the number (which I can't even wrap my head around). But because of how close I came to never speaking up. Never sharing my story. Never going into this particular dark corner of the internet.

My trauma response since as far back as I can remember, is FREEZE. Wide-eyed and afraid, I'd take in everything. I'd try to manage my pain from a place where no one would see me.

I've lived most my life in hyper-vigilance. Aware, but scared. Strategic but hidden.

Professionally, I'd shared about my past, but keep it behind-the-scenes. I quietly taught about manipulation and narcissism. I privately helped people recover.

But publicly, I tip-toed around difficult conversations and stayed silent about colleagues who had threatened me. Family who had abused me. People who deeply terrified me.

I tried to be small enough to make them go away. I tried to be silent enough to make them stop trying to hurt me. I tried to be invisible enough to be safe.

It didn't work.

And somewhere around my 50th birthday, I thought... what if...

What if I'll be never safe if I stay silent?

What if I'll never be small enough to make them leave me alone?

What if, instead of freezing, I choose to fight?

What if I make the message so big, so powerful, so loud that I give a voice to anyone who also feels silenced in their fear.

Would I do it for them?

For everyone who has been bullied, or smeared into compliance. For everyone who has felt that speaking up would sound...

Crazy.

The answer was YES. And that decision, to become big enough, loud enough, truth-telling-strong enough, to give voice to the pain, to give tools to people who need them... that was the beginning of our YouTube Channel.

Two years later, UPS pulled up to our garage late last night. Just seeing the box, from YouTube, I was overcome with emotion.

I didn't think I'd cry. I already knew it was coming. I knew we passed this milestone. I knew it was a big deal.

But when I opened the box, I was overcome. Thinking of you and millions of other people who have watched the videos, listened to the podcast, read the blogs, opened my newsletters.

Thinking of

how

many

people

that

is.

And I am just humbled and grateful to have earned your time.

From the bottom of my heart.
