Season Three is upon us. I can't believe it. So here is a taste of why this show exists and will continue to exist as long as I have breath in my body. In our lives functional changes alter activity of certain brain regions. These include overproduction of Stress hormones in childhood that can wear down the immune system and lead to depletion by adulthood of hormones necessary tolerate and recover from stressful situations encountered in daily life. What followed my dysfunctional childhood were two marriages to abusive toxic men and self-medicating with alcohol and drugs. I experienced domestic violence from 1968 to 1986. The victims of domestic violence can develop PTSD, General Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorders. Long-term domestic violence by a partner reduces self-esteem, creates fear and self-loathing. Often those with complex Trauma histories walk through the world feeling shameful, broken, irreparably damaged, holding a deep sense of unworthiness and incompetence. I know now that what I experienced was 'cosmic amnesia”, a false sense of self. Recovering from my trauma as taken many years of intensive counseling and inpatient programs. I can report that the woman I am today is vastly different from the woman I was in young adulthood. Depression and anxiety still rear their ugly heads, but I have regained my self-esteem and self-confidence.

Mimi Tallo Be Heard Empower Yourself

I have a passion for empowering others through my words and actions. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I always had a fire in my spirit and a zest for life. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services from the University of Scranton, which ignited my passion for helping others.
I survived an alcoholic father and two abusive marriages and still managed to succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worn many hats, from a Living Skills Facilitator guiding adults with traumatic brain injuries and cerebral palsy to a Women's Liaison at the Lackawanna County Drug Court, where I championed justice and compassion. As the Director of Community Resources at Golden Lakes Village Love in Action, I wove connections and fostered a community of love and collective action.
My books include "Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons," "Unearthing My Irish Roots," and "Surviving Your Demons." I am currently working on my fourth book, Anatomy of an Alien”. I continue to try and inspire and empower through my writing, podcast and YouTube show “Be Heard Empower Yourself”, speaking engagements, and social media presence.
I am already published on Amazon and Audible in English and Spanish.
I would like an agent to help me expand my presence in the field of non-fiction writing.
