I saw a documentary about your story today. As it has been with many others, I can relate to it. My story differs in that I was neglected and malnourished as a child. As a result, my body was run down and very thin from about three years of age. When I was 6, I had tonsillitis, chicken pox, strep and measles. Because of the malnutrition, I also had a mini stroke. This paralyzed one of my vocal cords and create a partial blockage in my airway. The story gets more complicated from here-but I realized from your experience with your mother that no one was for me. No one had my back. I lived in shame. Today, I am handicapped. I didn’t succeed in anything in life. Thank you for sharing your story. It helped me feel connected just a little.
I just had this revelation recently at 64 yrs old. When i was young my mom told me don’t get involved in anything unless you know you can win. Since I didn’t have confidence i stopped trying. Fortunately some teachers encouraged me to do things because they believed i could. I did excel beyond my lack of self esteem because i held on to a quote from Les Brown (motivational speaker & author) which was “if you can’t believe in yourself, believe in someone who believes in you!” This has been a Godsend! It kept me going but most of the time when big opportunities came my way i just couldn’t breakthru the thoughts i had of myself. I was offered a book deal on something i was working on - i was scared but jumped in it. Then a bunch of major obstacles all came at the same time. I gave up the house I worked so hard for bcz my abusive alcoholic husband said he would give me custody of our son who is autistic & he had began hitting him & threatening to break his hands. I didn’t blink an eye & said yes. Despite losing so much money & ending up in a shoe box, it was worth it to keep my son safe. Other things happened too & also ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks with covid fighting for my life. I have long covid now for 2 years which has also given me covid brain & I struggle with major cognitive functions. I cried cause I couldn’t write. I tried not to think about it, i contemplated just letting that dream go. After several meds etc. i can write a text like this but it takes me forever. I hope it makes sense & sorry for the lengthiness as editing is super hard. The things i write about has helped many & so i try & decided if it takes me forever, so be It. Word by word, sentence by sentence, & probably a whole lot of editing so it makes sense, i will keep trying. I realized that i may not be a natural writer but the message is important so i will find a way. And medically i will keep trying to find a way to recover. Your video is so on point & sheds light on how others were able to breakthru. And it doesn’t have to be a natural ability! Despite a number of things i also went thru as a kid... i survived a lot!!! And kept trying. Despite the down days, you have given me inspiration to fight another day. Thank you for your brave story on another video of yours & this one!!!! And even though I discovered the concept of this video myself just recently, i believe in you bcz you believe in US! Thank you so much Marilyn for making such a huge difference in our world! Much love to you & your husband & daughter (& family)! 💜🙏✨✨
Having learned of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study in 2010, I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of healing without re-traumatized. Thank you for being one of the of the courageous people to shine a light into your own painful past. I admire you so much, and thank you for living your phenomenal life.
You have lived a difficult early life and turned that around to help others. I am glad to see you still post to UA-cam. I have thought of you often over many years, and the courage it took to tell your story. PS. You may enjoy a book "Discipline Equals Freedom" by Jocko Willink, a former Navy Seal. It's a wonderful, intuitive, easy read. A real treasure. Best wishes to you! PSS. I just looked and he has other books. Strive To Become An Eminently Qualified Human Being is another.
This woman is such a brave warrior. Nevertheless, seeing Walt Disney as a thumb nail nade me cringe...he has been associated with much childhood trauma with the Mickey Mouse Club and Hollywood. The Disney Corp is very corrupt.
What's your problem? Consider the time this video was recorded and the fact that she comes from the baby boomer generation. Her talk seems normal to me.

I always love the stories where the counselors said
"You'll never do it"
And then they do.
"You're dreaming!".
On a sacrilegious errand.
WTH? Explain!! Who are You?
Maureen Obrien is a troll.
Creepy as F-
