The Scars and Tiaras Podcast - Angela Giles Klocke

Telling the stories of healing from the trauma of domestic violence…

I’m Angela Giles Klocke, your host and storyteller. I’m a survivor of complex trauma, which includes child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. I’ve been on my own healing journey for what sometimes feels like forever, but I have learned how to lean into the beautiful hard of telling our stories. I believe when we can share, our stories continue to help ourselves heal and help others step into the light. (I also believe YOU get to decide if you want to share or not — you don’t owe anyone your story.)

My heart has pointed me over and over to storytelling through podcasting, and like so many other ways we hold ourselves back after trauma, I’ve put it off and pushed it back, waiting for perfection (even though I truly know that doesn’t exist). So now I’m instead pushing onward, believing in the power of just starting and being brave. Let’s do this!
