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!

Storm's Eye continues where Broken left off. I've heard nothing from my family and do my best to make my way forward. I have a brief realization that my body, mind, and heart are disconnected. After any trauma, it's always important to ask ourselves, "What's next?" #LGBTQ #CSA #1in6Men #ComingOut #QueerVoices #Resilience…
Broken continues where Cursed left off. My mother has thrown me out and wished me dead of AIDS. This episode explores the aftermath of my having come out to my family and ends with a surprise insight I didn't think possible. #LGBTQ #CSA #1in6Men #ComingOut #QueerVoices #Resilience
Cursed continues where Refused left off. I start the second semester of my junior year of college. Ray and I room together. Counseling gets off to a rocky start. I decide it's time to share my true self with my family. #CSA #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #1in6Men #Trauma #Resilience #Anorexia #ComingOut
Refused continues where Liar. Liar. leaves off. My mother confronts me multiple times about my sexuality. Ray learns my secret. My sister's eating disorder takes hold. And I learn looking back isn't always so pretty. #CSA #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #1in6Men #Trauma #Resilience #Anorexia
Liar. Liar. continues where Me and That Train leaves off. More is revealed within my family of blood as I try to build my family of choice during my first year living on campus. I'm confronted with my past while struggling with the present as I try to secure my future. #CSA #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #1in6Men #Trauma #Resilience…
Me and That Train continues where Masquerade leaves off. The episode title is an homage to my favorite Patty Larkin song of the same name. Some things in our lives are simply inevitable. #CSA #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #1in6Men #Trauma #Resilience
Masquerade continues where Airborne leaves off. It's my final year of junior college and time to make some decisions about my future. #CSA #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #1in6Men #Trauma #Resilience
Airborne picks up where Trojan Horse leaves off and I unpack my rape and its impact on my future intimate relationships. I discuss my road to recovery. An old talent gains a new twist. Bad choices push my luck. My grandmother saves the day. #Trauma #Incest #CSA #LGBTQ #Rape #Resilience #1in6Men
Trojan Horse somewhat speaks for itself. The last girl I dated in high school introduces me to the first man I dated. To say anything more would be to reveal too much. This story unfolds during the AIDS epidemic. #Incest #CSA #LGBTQ #Rape #Resilience #1in6Men
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. I have to print a correction. I refer to Bobby's girlfriend in this episode as Diane, but I meant Claire. #CSA #Resilience #LGBTQ #1in6Men…
Changes picks up where Family's End leaves off and examines the aftermath of my parent's divorce as I left the only home I’d ever known. There’s an homage to the many closets in which we may find ourselves in honor of the US’s National Coming Out Day. Trigger Warning: Animal Cruelty. Note: The podcast service where I have this hosted, had a technical glitch and removed the episode. I'm not sure how the service will list this when I re-upload, but this is Season 1, Episode 8. The original air date was Oct 11, 2022. #NCOD #Incest #CSA #Resilience #1in6Men…
Family’s End picks up where Till Death Us Do Part leaves off and explores my parent’s separation and divorce and the impact it had on our family. My mother uses me as a pawn in their divorce. Bobby and I work together at a grocery store. I have my first high school same sex experience. I find my way into the closet as I realize I have some things to figure out. My father betrays my trust for the last time. Bobby reveals himself to me. I leave my childhood home. #Incest #CSA #Resilience #1in6Men #LGBTQ…
Till Death Us Do Part explores the aftermath of His Dark Intentions and Coda... as well as the changes to my family of origin that followed. I transition to high school, try to connect with my sister, and try to reconcile my sexual abuse and sexual identity. We offer safe harbor to two of my sister's friends which shows me we are not the only family carrying secrets. I'm shown an escape from my brother pimping me out...and somebody dies. #Suicide #Innerchild #EMDR #Incest #CSA #Resilience #1in6Men #LGBTQ…
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 podcasting platform where this was posted. This was originally aired Aug 18, 2022 as Season 1, Episode 5 and will appear out of sequence. #Incest #Childhoodsexualabuse #CSA #Resilience #1in6Men…
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 caused and share insights into my recovery and my journey. Listen when you're centered. Stay strong! #Incest #CSA #ChildhoodSexualAssault #Resilience #1in6Men…
