Welcome to “Un-seen Legacies Of Childhood”, a new podcast making serious noise about the importance of self-esteem, and our environment, particularly in the younger years.
Hosted by Sonia Seekunto, the 6-part series chews the fat on everything that contributes to self-esteem and our choices later in life, exploring the pain of feeling unseen, ignored and what that does to your sense of self. How our self-esteem moulds our choices, how it shapes our lives and why it’s so damn important!
Each episode explores a different piece of the puzzle, from the role of schools on a child’s sense of identity, their sense of their own capacity, to shining a light on those from very different and sometimes challenging backgrounds.

For many, childhood memories are a tapestry of innocent joy and self discovery, but for Sophie Andrews the threads are much darker. With a past scarred by the abuse from her adoptive father, Sophie, now the Chief Executive of Noah's Ark Children's Hospice and the author of "Scarred," shares her harrowing journey from a cherished daughter to a survivor of profound betrayal. This poignant episode reveals the complexities of her early life, the descent into a world of abuse, and the resulting emotional turmoil that fundamentally reshaped her understanding of trust and family.We hear how the shadows of Sophie's past loomed large, the Samaritans emerged as a beacon of hope, offering an empathetic ear when it seemed like the rest of the world wasn’t listening. Her testament to the life-saving power of this support network is a reminder of the crucial role such organisations play in society. The discussion doesn't just recount the darkest moments of struggling with self-harm, it also paints a vivid picture of the resilience and courage it takes to reach out, to speak up, and to begin the process of healing.From the emotional landscape of adoptive family dynamics, the reconnection with her birth mother, and the formidable challenge of rebuilding life after psychiatric hospitalisation; Sophie's journey of healing is both unique and ongoing, and celebrates that survival is an act of defiance against the darkness of her past. This episode explores human’s capacity to endure and transform, and it doesn't shy away from discussing the nuanced approaches needed to support survivors of abuse and trauma.Episode signposting -https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=onebox&utm_content=box2https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/crisis-services/getting-help-in-a-crisis/https://www.youngminds.org.uk/young-person/my-feelings/self-harm/#Gethelpnow
