Skyborne
We all have something that holds us down or holds us back. It may be our history, our physicality, our addiction, or our circumstance. We carry some pain we are trying to understand, work through, let go of, or deny. Pain, like talent, comes down to what we do with it. How our pain molds or motivates us is what defines its impact on our life. Will we wallow or rise? The “Skyborne” podcast is rooted in resilience. Listen as I share, with brutal honesty, the journey of my life and the lessons I have learned. This is a serialized narrative; I encourage you to listen in sequence. The story of my life comes with a trigger warning. Episodes covering particularly difficult topics such as sexual abuse, rape, suicide ideation, will be marked as “Explicit”. Episodes will be dropped every 3 weeks. My father was a commissioned officer in the Navy and my mother a nurse. I am the youngest of their 3 children. I will share my journey through complex family dynamics, the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse we all endured, and how I did the work to develop the tools to find my authentic self and my voice. If my story is helping you, please, buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kglockrams I’ve also launched my website at www.kglockrams.com - stop by!

Trigger warnings: Incest. Physical and emotional abuse....
His Dark Intentions picks up where Empathy and Enmity left off.
This was incredibly difficult for me to produce both emotionally and physically. I recorded it with a partially paralyzed vocal cord. I finally found the voice to tell my tale, metaphorically, and then developed a vocal cord issue that literally prevents me from speaking properly. That's some irony right there.
I dig deep into the damage my childhood sexual trauma cau...
Coda... offers a final look at His Dark Intentions and provides analysis as to what led to those moments with my father at the age of 14. I discuss how producing His Dark Intentions shifted me in a surprisingly positive way, how I survived my abuse (big shout-out to my public school education and teachers!), and I share a recent interaction I had with an eighteen year old survivor looking for hope.
NOTE: There was a glitch with the...

Kiss Today Goodbye continues where Changes leaves off. As my mother and I begin our life together without my father, we discover new facets of each other and I continue to struggle with my sexual identity.
