Episode 216 – Keeper Catran-Whitney, author of “HELPLESSNESS”
As a victim of childhood sexual abuse, during this episode, you will learn about the transformative message that Keeper Catran-Whitney has developed while focusing on leadership and personal growth, following some very challenging years as a youth in Northern California.
Keeper was born in the San Francisco area, one of eight children, and his journey began in a disadvantaged black singing family, where their dreams of major musical success were shattered by his predatory stepfather. Years later, Keeper confronted this painful past, turning his trauma into a powerful leadership asset.
In his literary breakthrough titled, 'Helplessness' - he explores the depths of heartache and redemption while unveiling a narrative that intertwines passion and pain. By facing hard truths, he helps leaders unlock their potential, gain new perspectives, and develop empathy, ultimately enhancing their leadership skills.
Keeper has been honored to share his insights on several notable podcasts, including Mediocre Dads, The Health Revolution TV Show, and Unsolicited Perspective. His story is not just inspirational but transformational, offering a fresh perspective on harnessing one's past to become a more empathetic and effective leader.
His testimony involves significant trauma, leading to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and leading to very clear side effects such as stuttering. As a survivor of sexual assault and having witnessed his sisters endure similar experiences, he’s had to navigate a substantial amount of emotional and psychological baggage.
Keeper’s journey has not only involved managing his own trauma but also supporting his siblings through their healing processes. Through his memoir, he’s learned the concepts of resilience and the importance of confronting difficult truths. He touts learning that facing these challenges together can make them more manageable and foster a stronger sense of support and recovery.
In this episode, you will learn some shocking statistics about child sexual abuse, which is exactly why Keeper is on a mission to create a bridge for sisters and brothers to become allies, not enemies, in the conversations related to sexual abuse. His mission is to save thousands of children from the horrors of sexual abuse.
