The 10 Lies We Carry: Brian F. Martin on Breaking the Silence Around Childhood Domestic Violence
What if 1 in 8 people are carrying invisible scars from something they don’t even know they experienced?
This week on The Great Unfamous, I sit down with Brian F. Martin, someone who’s not only survived an invisible epidemic, but is devoted to helping others name it, understand it, and rise above it.
It’s called Childhood Domestic Violence (CDV).
1 in 8 people are affected. Most have no idea.
Brian's book, Invincible, names the 10 lies CDV teaches us:
That we’re not good enough.
That we’re to blame.
That we’ll always be broken.
That love, confidence, and calm are for someone else.
But here’s the good news: those lies aren’t permanent. They’re not true.
They’re just stories — stories that can be rewritten.
In this conversation, Brian and I unpack what it means to reclaim your narrative, how a 30-second self-screening tool could be the spark of a turning point, and why shining a light on the hard stuff is the beginning of healing.
For you. For someone you love.
For the part of you that knows there’s more.
It’s about awareness.
And action.
Listen in. It matters.
