The Deep

After 2 years of hosting The Deep and holding space for others, I'm ready to share with you one of the traumas that I lived through. When I was younger, I became a victim of domestic violence. I was manipulated, isolated, physically and sexually abused until I didn't know who I was anymore. But I got out. Somehow. And this is my story.Sean Szeps holds this conversation. Someone I trust and tell all my secrets to.Please note. During this chat I may sound guarded or at times unemotional. I know that this is still a trauma response. Because of legal reasons I can't reveal the identity of my abuser so some things need to stay private. It makes this a difficult conversation because I can't share everything that I want to. What I am doing is sharing the full extent of this abusive relationship for the first time ever.Content warning; This episode discusses domestic abuse, physical and sexual abuse, and suicide.

episode 6: Low Tox Living


Today we're deviating from the usual content we have on The Deep. But there's an important reason. I'm really concerned with how much toxins and microplastics are invading our everyday lives, and the impact this is having on our health. I want to know how we can minimise our exposure but I'm also a realist. We all have busy lives, kids, budgets, cravings. We're not perfect...
