It's no secret that many young boys are victims of sexual assault
growing up. I'm not sure of the exact numbers; however, I would
assume that more often than not, many of these young men go on
never to speak a single word of the assault. Well, that is not
what Sean Segerstrom did. From the age of only four years, old
Sean experienced sexual assault from a family member and then a
close family friend. This would continue until his late teenage
years. Sean explains that he thought that that is how people show
each other that they love them. It's these experience that causes
Sean some of the struggles that he still battles today. Although
these are real struggles, finding any positivity in a story such
as this can be very uncomfortable, there has been a silver
lining.

Sean explains how he found his chosen family. He speaks about the
people that, while not blood related to him, are his family.
Those who sat with him in some of his darkest moments in life
without an ounce of judgment. These are the people who've always
made him feel safe. Sean does a beautiful job helping the
audience know that they, too, can find their chosen family!

I hope that those of you whom Sean mentioned are listening to
today's episode. You deserve to hear the kind things he said
about you all. The love he has for you all is undeniable.

Thanks, Sean, for sharing your message and story with the world.
We need more people like you not only to stand up against the
injustices that they face but to also speak to the younger
generations that are coming up after us. Young people, we need
you guys to know that you're not alone. While it might feel that
way now, it will not always be this way. There is a natural
progression of life that happens and often its an uncomfortable
growing pain that we don't at the moment often understand. The
beautiful thing about it is if we take a step back and surrender
control to something greater than ourselves, then, the
possibilities of our life are endless and bountiful!
