What happens when the pain you experienced as a child becomes the voice you hear as an adult?
In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase sits down with former college soccer player Nina Carlson for a vulnerable conversation about childhood trauma, sexual abuse, bullying, betrayal, identity, faith, and healing.
Nina shares how painful childhood experiences shaped her self-worth, led her to seek validation through achievement and relationships, and influenced the way she spoke to herself.
From navigating rejection in friendships to competing in college athletics and transitioning into life after sports, Nina opens up about the struggle to separate her identity from performance.
Together, Norense and Nina explore the importance of therapy, community, renewing your mind through God's Word, and learning to replace negative self-talk with truth.
