What happened to you? with Sebastian Scales
By Sebastian Scales
My name is Sebastian and I do stand-up comedy about being molested as a kid. Laughing about my experience allowed me to begin processing and healing from what happened to me. Humor is an amazing gateway into deeper conversations and emotions.
From child molestation to cancer to double parental suicide, talking about difficult topics in a lighthearted way makes them easier to deal with.
Hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we do. Thanks for listening :)
