#85 - Clark Fredericks

Clark Fredericks talks about his story. He was raped as a kid, didn’t know what to do, didn’t feel like he could ever talk about it as the years went by. As an adult, he crosses paths with the man that did this to him and it ends in a bloody mess with Clark receiving a life sentence.  Clark has started his own podcast and is telling his story to help others who have been sexually abused not make some of the decisions he did.  I think Clark’s story is a great example of what happens when we don’t talk about our demons, when we burry them deep down. They aren’t going to go away, you can’t starve them to death. Your silence feeds them.  Clark woke up hungover in an isolated prison cell in a straight jacket with a life sentence. That's a really shitty spot to be in, but even in that spot, he had to answer the question… What am I going to do about it?  Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% what you’re going to do about it.
