Thanks for walking through this tough one with me. Bruised But Breathing is more than a title—it’s a truth I carried quietly for years. The bullying, the silence, the hiding… it shaped me. But it didn’t stop me.

Sometimes, we survive by finding light in hidden places. And for me, that light came from the Cohoes Music Hall.

Next time on Liddle Did I Know, I’ll take you deeper into that world—the creaky wooden stage, the velvet curtains, and the people who helped me believe I was more than the labels I’d been given. From Donna and Sheila Quin, to Christopher Doremus, Danny Cuva, and even Ronnie the bartender—these were my guides through the spotlight and the shadows.

🎭 Episode 10: Stage Lights and Second Chances is coming soon.

And don’t forget—my memoir, LIDDLE DID I KNOW: From Shadows to Light – My Story, is dropping by year’s end. Keep following the podcast for more stories, more healing, and a few unexpected curtain calls.
