Daddy gang, welcome to a very, very special Sunday session. Today is International Women's Day. I am gonna be sitting down with two women who I have gotten to know through working with an organization called Harvest Home. Harvest Home is a safe haven for women who are pregnant and experiencing homelessness. My biggest asset is my story, and my story is the biggest thing that can help somebody else. When was the first time that you experienced abuse or mistreatment from a man? I mean, we can say that since I was, like, five, really, there was so much objectification and sexualization when I was a child. It made me believe that I had to be desirable to the opposite sex in order for me to feel worthy. How do you think the way that you were treated by those type of romantic partners really impacted your confidence? I didn't have any. I didn't have any self worth. I felt like I was getting exactly what I deserved because I ended up believing him. It just made it that much harder to leave. If I leave, like, am I gonna be able to make it financially? If I leave, am I gonna meet somebody worse? So I found out I was pregnant. I rank away. I ended up sleeping in a car, out on the street. I found Harvest Home. Every time I talk about it, I always cry because I remember being so desperate for help. When you got here, what ended up being your first impression? Man. How was that? A brush of breath tier. You no? It was, safety, comfort, just being able to relax and sleep without being worried.
