Where It All Began — My Healing Journey Starts Here
About This Episode
Content note: This episode contains honest discussion of childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and addiction. Please listen with care and reach out for support if you need it.
Welcome to the very first episode of The Camisha Blackburn Podcast. This episode is where it all begins — not with a green juice or a wellness routine, but with the truth. The real, unfiltered, sometimes uncomfortable truth about where my healing journey actually started.
In this episode, I share:
Growing up on the Hilltop in Columbus, Ohio, and what that environment taught me about love, safety, and identity
Moving constantly as a child and how that affected my sense of self and belonging
Being bullied in middle and high school for my weight, my hair, and who I was
Surviving sexual abuse and witnessing domestic violence, and how those experiences shaped my relationships
Losing myself after high school in alcohol, cocaine, and eventually methamphetamine
The two moments that made me realize I had to get out, one of which nearly cost me my life
Moving to Cleveland as a lifeline and how five years in a new city slowly brought me back to myself
What it felt like to finally start falling in love with who I am
Key Takeaway
Healing does not begin when everything is fine. It begins when you finally decide that you cannot keep running. For me, that moment came at the bottom, and it was the most important moment of my life.
