🔶Fighting for justice has always come at a price. Cyberattacks, threats, malicious identity theft, suspicious break-in attempts, and psychopathic defamatory letters are just a few examples of the repercussions I have had to endure since publishing my book in 2021....

Book tour of 'My Father' coupled to a number of conferences Book launch: 28th May 2023 My first book Cruelly betrayed was written within weeks and published in March 2021. I did not get to have the fun side of launching a new book. Not only due to the Covid-19...

I had a wonderful time at Relais pour la Vie - Luxembourg with my 2 teams from SCRIPT and Jonk & Kriibs all through the night It was my first time experiencing this event in live action at D'Coque - Centre National Sportif et Culturel. So very important to draw...

The first pages of 'My Father'

Elections communales le 11 juin 2023 - Ville de Luxembourg - Liste 2

The writing is surprisingly flowing, which only means one thing: it was about time (again)!
New book release planned for the first half of 2023!✍🏻📚❤️

A kind reminder to all the shitty people out there who sexually, physically and/or psychologically abuse their victim(s). According to my latest evidence-based research, I am pleased to conclude that by creating a victim, you are basically feeding into his or her...

It’s been 18 months since publishing my (first) book and the chronic backlash from my ‘family’ has been substantial. What makes me write this post, however, is the latest obnoxious lawyer’s letter from the abuser himself, who is very very eager to cash in on my dead...

Thank you Alicia for being there during and after chemotherapy People told me ‘it’s just hair, it will grow back…’ Well, it isn’t just hair, I can confirm that….food for thought for future interactions with cancer patients #cancer #chemotherapy #chemosucks #chemocurls...

Dear Nora, Today, I received the news of your death. Strangely, it coincided with the same day I received the sweetest news that I am allowed to live on… I knew this day was approaching, rather sooner than later, while we were both fighting cancer, only you were not...

Isn’t society funny and so very paradoxical? While going through any hardship (aka life’s panoply of shits), society wants you to be ‘positive’, smile more, complain less…..but please not too positive. Allow me to elaborate. Not all disabilities are visible to the...

Thanks very much for all the love coming my way today I am euphoric to have added one more year to my life, to many many more I have never particularly enjoyed my birthdays until the latest realisation that ‘growing old and grey’ was not a given anymore 2 years ago!...

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, Notre invité de la semaine est le docteur Mary Faltz, personnalité rayonnante au destin qui aurait pourtant pu, en ces revirements d'un rare tragique, briser définitivement l'individu désormais plein de gratitude que j'ai eu l'occasion...

Soirée très émouvante hier soir à Libramont, un grand merci au Zonta Club Saint-Hubert Redouté pour l’organisation et à Olivia Hody pour sa contribution. La beauté du Luxembourg avec son éducation plurilingue qui me permet de faire ce travail crucial au-delà des...

Grousse Respekt fir déi 4 jonk Schülerinnen vun WSafety2022 aus dem Lycée classique d'Echternach fir d’Initiative an d’Organisatioun vum Themenowend gëschter am Trifolion Echternach. Eng ganz interessant Ronn mam Me Noémie Sadler, Mme Caroline Martiny an Dr Roland...

Thoroughly enjoyed this 8 hour public speaking course with Dirk Daenen at CNFPC, definitely worth the price tag! I am convinced that public speaking must become an integral part of elementary school curriculum!! It is not a nice to have but an absolute must have from...

The beauty of social media is that even after 13 years, I am still able to find people who played a huge game changing role in my life’s turbulent path. Virun 13 Joer war ech um Commissariat zu Péiteng, um déifste Punkt vun enger 16 Jähreger Emprise déi een sech guer...

Thank you Michele Fox for creating this wonderful initiative Jonk & Kriibs through which I got to know many other cancer survivors my age! To everyone out there still going through this cancer hell, I wish lots of courage, better days will come

We all carry labels. Some are light, others are heavy. Society will treat us accordingly if we allow it. All my life, I have viewed these negative labels that were given to me against my will as society did - as weakness or failure. Today, I regard these labels as...

Ce groupe privé est strictement destiné à toute personne, de sexe masculin ou féminin, qui a survécu à l’abus sexuel durant l’enfance et/ou jeunesse. Vous pouvez parler ouvertement, de façon anonyme ou simplement être spectateur sans contribution tout en étant à...

It’s been a year since the official book launch and the feedback since has been overwhelming To celebrate this in style (and to celebrate the fact of simply being alive) I will have my first Book reading and signing event at the wonderful Café littéraire Le Bovary...

The main question that many sexual abuse victims get asked is: *Why did you not say something earlier?* Let me try and answer that question with a picture that many may be familiar with. Firstly, to make victims understand why they waited so long to speak about what...

My 3-monthly lease on this beautiful thing called *Life* has been renewed🥰

More empathy and less sympathy is the way forward A reminder of the difference between the 2, beautifully drawn by Jocelyne Kohnen for my TEDx talk. In other words: ‘Kindness is loaning someone your strength, instead of reminding them of their weakness’ (author...

I really had a wonderful year why? …not because I published a successful accidental impactful book …not because I bought a beautiful new house …not because I landed my dream job …not because I gave a powerful TEDx talk …not because I am finally speaking up and...

What an honor to welcome this week's guest. She is a true fighter; a true survivor and a total inspiration. She is: Mary Faltz. Mary has recently published a book entitled Cruelly Betrayed which talks about her tumultuous life: Mary put her father in prison after 16...

Mary Faltz put her own father to prison after 16 painful years of being sexually abused by him. As if that was not enough, Mary is currently undergoing cancer treatment. One of the many things I admire about Mary is that no matter what life throws at her, she is still...

There are no losers or winners when it comes to cancer.   With a diagnosis, you get catapulted from one day to the other without warning into this unknown horrible fearful parallel world of cancer.   It is a world filled with intense fear, anxiety, anger, hope,...

Dear Body of Mine, I feel the need to write a love letter to you today as I am filled with absolute pride, respect, admiration and gratitude towards you. Contrary to what my book cover is stating, I do not feel betrayed by you anymore. I have grown up hating you from...

Very happy to share the book cover of my book CRUELLY BETRAYED, publication is imminent Please help me reach a wide audience by sharing my page and thereby raising awareness of childhood sexual abuse while empowering people who find themselves facing life adversities...

I am what you’d call an accidental book author, I never meant to write a book but I somehow did in the middle of a heavy storm...If I had to briefly describe myself : I am a single mother of 4, a clinical researcher, a pharmacist and a long term child sexual abuse...
