00:00Hey, I'm a person. I'm here. I get to use my voice now. I get to participate in the process
00:05now because I'm free. And why not? Why not?
00:15For nearly a decade, the story has ran without me and without my voice. And I've watched it.
00:22And there's a responsibility on my part as well. You know, I've watched it spin out of control
00:28and watched a lot of facts be taken, not just out of context, but get gotten really wrong.
00:34And because I didn't speak up because I didn't have a voice and watching all these stories run
00:39without me, the only way to meet it is to be head on and be transparent and continue
00:45putting myself out there, you know? And now I really, I'm working with Tim's story and I'm
00:53working on rebuilding my life and I'm working on continuing to try and take this mess and make
00:58some kind of a message out of it. If that's, if, if, you know, that's even possible. Cause I've had
01:04some really bad interviews. They all haven't been good. So it's really just about, I feel proud of
01:12what I did in the film. It's about continuing to just be authentic and be out there. And if somebody
01:18doesn't like it, you're not going to be liked by everybody and certainly not going to be believed
01:25by everybody. And I understand that, but it's time to participate in the process. You know, given when
01:31you have someone that's experienced trauma in their childhood, it can go two ways. It can go
01:36in a way that, um, you know, you might not want to be a parent, or it can go in a way where you really
01:43learn all the things not to do. I feel like I learned a lot and I have a very deep understanding
01:50and a better, much clearer and better relationship to my childhood trauma. And so that gives me these,
01:57um, this foundation of how to emotionally support my children. You know, I taught them growing up a lot
02:03about emotional intelligence, which is not something that I necessarily had, um, growing up as a child.
02:09And I really immersed my kids a lot in learning about emotional intelligence. And, um, so I feel
02:16like it's, it's been a cornerstone of my parenting. You know, I learned a lot from my childhood of
02:23what I knew was deeply traumatizing. And I think the main thing with my kids is I,
02:31I raised them in a way that, um, it's a very open environment. There's no secrets and there's no,
02:40um, you know, I don't neglect my children in any way. I give them a lot of open space. And when I
02:45still had custody of them, we had this routine of nighttime before bed, I would alternate each day
02:51with each kid. And it would be like the judge, the no judgment space where they could tell me
02:56anything and we could talk about anything and they could cry and they could be angry and they could
03:02have that environment where, you know, mommy's not going to judge you about anything. Because I think
03:07what you want to do as a parent is you want to be that safety for them. So if something happens, they
03:13come to you for that and not go somewhere else. And I really became that for my children. And, um, you
03:21know, I didn't imagine that it's very difficult being without mama now.
