Opinions expressed by guests are their own. Some names may be changed to protect guest, minors and victims of abuse. Thank you for listening to BUT SHE’S YOUR MOTHER. About Amy Stroth TRIGGER WARNING: Bio mentions SA and child abuse. At a very young age, I became very aware how different I was from my Family. I began shrinking myself to fit it. Keeping my needs quiet, in order to, manage my alcoholic mother’s emotions. The survival skills I learned to keep myself safe had to be unlearned as a young adult. It was when I went to college, that I slowly began to find my confidence. I finally fit In somewhere. But even then, I hid my true self and the horror of what I experienced as a child. The Neglect and sexual abuse was smothered away with material things, out of fear and being judged by my peers. During my 20’s I realized when I was working was when I felt best. Making goals and having money distracted me and kept the bad memories stuffed. I owned a 4 bed 4 bath house by myself by the time I was 30. The obsession of work put me in all the right places and I owned 3 companies by my 40’s. But I still always felt like there was something missing. In the midst of all the success, the Pandemic Struck. I was forced to stay home and not work for the first time since the 5thgrade. This is when I discovered TikTok and began following some Creators that would change my life forever. This inspiration allowed me to start speaking about my own Trauma. My personal goal was: if I helped one person, just one, then it would all be worth it. And for the first time, I finally believed that my voice deserved to be heard. Finally, being able to value myself, lead me to create a safe space for other Survivors. Through my journey, speaking out … healing out loud, I have developed a partnership with the Corner House in MN, which is a Globally recognized Child Advocacy Center. I now live for ME, without fears and shame. I am a proud wife and mother of 2 amazing kids. Who have healed me in so many ways. I never had a “Mom,” - now I get to be a mom. A good one. I Changed everything about my Life and Broke The Cycle. My goal is to help others Break the Cycle too, so they don’t have to feel alone like I did.

About Amy Stroth TRIGGER WARNING: Bio mentions SA and child abuse. At a very young age, I became very aware how different I was from my Family. I began shrinking myself to fit it. Keeping my needs quiet, in order to, manage my alcoholic mother’s emotions. The survival skills I learned to keep myself safe had to be unlearned as a young adult. It was when I went to college, that I slowly began to find my confidence. I finally fit In somewhere. But even then, I hid my true self and the horror of what I experienced as a child. The Neglect and sexual abuse was smothered away with material things, out of fear and being judged by my peers. During my 20’s I realized when I was working was when I felt best. Making goals and having money distracted me and kept the bad memories stuffed. I owned a 4 bed 4 bath house by myself by the time I was 30. The obsession of work put me in all the right places and I owned 3 companies by my 40’s. But I still always felt like there was something missing. In the midst of all the success, the Pandemic Struck. I was forced to stay home and not work for the first time since the 5th grade. This is when I discovered TikTok and began following some Creators that would change my life forever. This inspiration allowed me to start speaking about my own Trauma. My personal goal was: if I helped one person, just one, then it would all be worth it. And for the first time, I finally believed that my voice deserved to be heard. Finally, being able to value myself, lead me to create a safe space for other Survivors.
