Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#18 Vika Pasefika : UCE Movement
Q: How did you approach forgiveness for the abuse you endured, and what impact did that have on your healing?
I worked through the pain by naming the abuse, forgiving the perpetrator to release the grip of the trauma, and then applying those lessons to protect my own kids and help others, even though forgiveness of my father remains complex.
#18 Vika Pasefika : UCE Movement
Q: What was the turning point with your family that sparked your decision to change?
The moment when I realized I could not keep risking my kids' safety by staying in the old patterns; moving away, choosing healthier environments, and committing to change with the support of my partner and community.
