Warning: This episode contains messages that might be disturbing to some listeners – especially those who have experienced one form of child sexual abuse or the other.

We are down to the last episode of the SICK-SEEK-RETS series. What a month it has been!

This week’s episode was unplanned; it was born from my "off-the-record" conversation with AnuOluwapo Adelakun, my guest from last week. There was just something about talking to her that helped to finally loosen my tongue to share my story with her, a conversation that I had been unable to have with my mum.

Just like Anu, I was molested at the age of three by a neighbor. Though I didn’t have a thorough understanding of what transpired, an evil seed was planted that day, and I have lived with its fruits since then.

In this episode, I spoke about my abuse for the first time, mapping out my life from childhood to adulthood and the long-term adverse effects the experience left me with. Most importantly, I talked about the steps I have taken and still taking towards healing.

Find out how I broke the news to my mom after 30 years and her reaction to it. There is a word of advice for parents in this episode, give it a listen. As usual, please send feedback.

Love,

Mo!

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Mo! - Mo!nologue III: – On Gratitude, Confronting Fear, and Toxic Traits

One of the many blessings of podcasting for me is having a safe space to talk and share my thoughts with you all, knowing that someone is out there listening and probably learning too.

Today, I decided to do a monologue-something I haven’t done in a while now. In this episode, I talked about practicing gratitude, confronting your fears, and managing toxic behaviors.

As usual, I shared my personal stories alongside these topics. After undergoing an event that almost cost me my life, I am grateful to be alive now more than ever. I also recently crossed a significant item off my to-do list, which I have unconsciously been afraid of doing.

While listening to this episode, take time to reflect, evaluate your position on the issues I raised, and please send feedback. I would love to know how this episode has impacted you.

해라 /hae ra/ (Do it!),

Mo!
