About this episode

Sam Jackel shares her experiences of trauma and identity struggles from childhood through her mid-20s.

This interview is with the amazing lady, wife, and mother of five, Sam (Samantha) Jackel who now lives just west of Kempsey. From her earliest memories, right through to her mid-20's, Sam's life was filled with trauma, abuse, lack of self-esteem, and a wrong identity. Listen as Sam talks about her childhood, and the things she had to do to fit in with friends, and ultimately her husband. Lots to think about in this first of two interviews with Sam. Des
