This story comes with many warnings.
There are descriptions of cruel violence, addiction, crimes and incarceration, trauma bonding, and abandonment. These can be triggering for some.
If listening to this episode becomes too intense, stop and do what is best for you.
Sunshine Faye (not her real name) is a survivor.
In her story, she never pretends to be a saint. She puts on full display her mistakes and many of them were huge. But here is someone who shows us where poor choices can take us in life.
Sunshine Faye also describes abusive relationships she engaged in and the serious, sometimes life-threatening, consequences that presented themselves.
Never one to sit still, when she finally found ways to love herself, she set out with writing books and producing a new podcast.
Sunshine Faye decided to take all her experiences and all she learned and put it into a book entitled Dance With the Devil. It tells one part of her survivor story. Here is the Amazon link to this book.
Her second book is entitles, The Manipulation Whisperer.
