Ep 158 Jamie Del Fierro - Forgiveness to Freedom: Overcoming Rape, Freeing Yourself from Your Past Story, and Forgiving the Unforgivable At the age of 11 years old, Jamie was molested. Then at 14 years old, two of her brother's best friends raped her in her childhood bed.  One of the boys from that event told her, "You deserve this, you're a whore and you are trash."  After going through these traumatic events, when Jamie heard the words, "You are trash," her life shifted course. Hearing those words at such an impressionable age, at the time she believed that was her truth. For the next 10 years, Jamie adopted the identity of what she believed was "trash." This led to using drugs and alcohol. She was pregnant at 16 and had her daughter at the age of 17. She said that in the early years, she felt more like a "care giver" to her daughter than a mother.  Eventually, continuing deeper into this story of "being trash" she go into multiple abusive relationships, stripping, escorting, and eventually into using cocaine and meth.  All of this changed one day at a dinner at a sushi restaurant when she met one of her brother's friends, a man by the name of Sean Stephenson.  After one life-changing meeting with Sean, Jamie decided to take control of her life and turn things around. She realized she was going to make these changes for herself and for her daughter. She said, "I want to look at myself in the mirror and be proud for once in my life."  Now Jamie is 13 years sober, is an incredible speaker and coach running her own business, co-owner of renowned MMA Gym (Alliance Gym) in San Diego, has a deeply-loving marriage, and is best friends with her daughter.  In today's interview Jamie will share:  How to forgive the unforgivable Her best advice on how to overcome trauma and how to help people you love through traumatic experiences What it takes to shift a story or identity that is holding us back Her advice for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse on how to open up and get help How one night at a sushi restaurant changed her life forever Why vulnerability has led to her greatest successes How to find motivation to change when you are at rock bottom What it took for her to find a loving relationship that is completely open and honest How she became her daughter's hero and best friend How her forgiveness changed so many people's lives (and changed her wedding day)  And so much more!  To learn more about Jamie's Coaching and Speaking, visit: http://www.jamiedelfierro.com/ To learn more about her MMA Gym, Alliance MMA, click the link below: https://alliancemmagym.com/   OVERCOMING GRADUATION SHOW NOTES:  To subscribe to the podcast, search for "Overcoming Graduation" on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or Google Play.

Ep 158 Jamie Del Fierro - Forgiveness to Freedom: Overcoming Rape, Freeing Yourself from Your Past Story, and Forgiving the Unforgivable

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING, JAMIE DEL FIERRO IS A MIRACLE. After being molested at the age of 10, and raped in her childhood bedroom at 14, Jamie’s life spiraled out of control. To numb herself, she started heavily abusing alcohol, marijuana, and ecstasy. By the age of 17, she was pregnant. But that didn’t stop the train of pain. With the stress of a newborn baby and an abusive boyfriend, Jamie masked her pain by heavily using meth, cocaine, and prescription pills. Eventually she was pulled into the world of stripping and prostitution. Fortunately, Jamie sought help and radically turned her life around. Now, she is happily married to the man of her dreams, has a wonderful bond with her beautiful daughter, and has been sober over a decade. Currently, her schedule is filled serving as a Life Coach. Jamie is also a part owner of a world-renowned MMA gym, Alliance Training Center, in San Diego. She also spends time each week mentoring homeless teens at a local shelter in San Diego, CA. Her life story has served as inspiration to thousands of people around the world who have been affected by abuse, addiction, and many forms of trauma. Jamie is on a mission to rid this world of shame and guilt by sharing her story of forgiveness.    JamieDelFierro.com
