Did you witness domestic abuse as a child? If you answered, "yes" to this question click play and listen to our conversation regarding children who live in the shadows of domestic violence w/ author Tiffany Mensah. 

Tiffany decided to start the process of ending generational curses in her family by writing her life story. In her book, "Forgotten" she gives explicit details regarding her childhood and how witnessing domestic abuse affected her thought process in relationships (both platonic and romantically), and decision making as an adult.

Tiffany has become a beacon for those who are currently suffering or those who have suffered in the past from living in the shadows of others hurt and trauma, which ultimately becomes your hurt and trauma.

Tiff's story is inspiring and will give others the courage to beat the odds.

"You are the narrator of your story, don't allow someone to come in and write your ending." -B.Brix

Check out this excerpt from "Forgotten":

"What else is there to do when a situation you have no control over seemingly erases you from the minds of your caregivers? When you’re forgotten by the ones who brought you into the world. Dismissed by the people who are supposed to love and care for you. Put on the back burner by the ones charged with providing you an atmosphere of peace and safe shelter. I was desperate for my voice to be heard by those who wouldn’t, couldn’t, or didn’t care enough to hear."

Quote of the Week: "Children watch your every move. Be aware of what your actions are teaching them." -B.Brix

The Hood Shrink Podcast's main focus is to help those heal from traumatic life experiences by having difficult, yet necessary conversations surrounding topics that are considered “taboo” in minority communities. It is uncommon to seek professional help and it is frowned upon if you even mention the word therapist. When situations arise in the privacy of one’s home the phrase, “what goes on in this house, stays in this house” is used to protect toxic family members and situations that leave the sufferer in silence. This behavior has inadvertently caused generational curses and is navigating through generations like a plague, causing more harm and hurt to said individuals. 

Butterfly Brix is dedicated to breaking the silence and helping others overcome trauma by having discussions surrounding mental, physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. Together we will debunk the myth “go and pray about it” as a substitute for seeing a licensed professional. This platform is a safe place for those who want to seek help but are not quite ready. 

Brix, has your back! Let the healing begin.
