Childhood Trauma & Homelessness Don’t Have to Define Your Future | Altovise “Unmuted” Interview5/14/2025 When we talk about health at Good Living Now, we usually focus on nutrition, fasting, juicing, and fitness. But true wellness also depends on what’s happening in our minds and hearts. In this week’s podcast episode, Harold Leffall sits down with author and speaker Altovise “Unmuted”—a woman who survived childhood abuse, seasons of homelessness, and more than a few detours on her road to publishing 20 books. Below is a written recap for readers who prefer to skim, share, and revisit the most important points. Meet Altovise “Unmuted”
Trauma, Homelessness, and the Long Road to Stability Altovise opens up about teenage years blurred by abuse, grooming, and eventual homelessness. Survival mode felt “normal,” so she buried the memories—until the consequences surfaced in adult relationships and career choices. Her turning point? Realizing that “busy” and “productive” aren’t the same when old wounds drive the workload. The “Seed vs. Fruit” Analogy—Why Burying Pain Backfires
Body Signals & Anxiety: What Perimenopause Taught Her At 45, Altovise noticed stubborn weight, mood swings, and a racing mind. Her takeaway: Get the lab work. Sometimes “emotional” symptoms have hormonal triggers—and digging deeper prevents the Google-rabbit-hole panic spiral. Parenting & Generational Patterns Both Harold and Altovise highlight how unexamined trauma can lead to extremes:
Celebrate Mile-Markers, Not Just Finish Lines Trauma recovery isn’t a straight path. Altovise’s favorite metaphor: a dark room with a light switch. Turn the light on, and you’ll find you weren’t alone—help was always there. Each small revelation or therapy breakthrough is a mile-marker worth celebrating (yes, cake or a new journal count).

Final Thoughts Your history shapes you, but it doesn’t have to own the script. Whether your challenge is childhood trauma, homelessness, or another life curveball, remember Altovise’s advice: “Don’t just identify the finish line—celebrate every mile-marker.” Ready to Take Charge of Your Health?
