This week on SHLTMM, my guest, Vivace Maxvictor, is ofJewish Iranian descent and has been living in the United States since she was twelve years old. Both she and her mother, Jaleh, withstood brutal beatings from Vivace's father. "Everyone was afraid of my dad. He was a monster," reflects Vivace. This is a terribly sad story but the outcome is very bright. Vivace, a speaker and life coach uses her life experience to help other find their true self worth with sincerity and integrity. She loves and adores her mother and says, "she was my hero growing up."
Before you proceed, I want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing.
Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming a speaker and life coach.
My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole."
Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left. From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price.
With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue.
Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide, Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth.
She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.
