You Can Thrive

Kevin Hughes Author Interview

Sociomom is a raw and gut-wrenching memoir about surviving a childhood dominated by abuse, manipulation, and the long road toward emotional healing. Why was this an important book for you to write?

It was important to me to author this book not to share my story, but to illustrate that no matter what your past is, where you come from or what your current circumstances are, you can overcome and thrive.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

There are several:

  1. You are not alone in your struggles.
  2. If you want something different and better in your life you have to try different and better options to heal.
  3. No matter how hard you try, you can not and are not meant to do it on your own.
  4. There is no one size fits all approach but you have to lean into physical, mental and spiritual health options to move forward.
  5. Overcoming trauma and mental health challenges is a journey not a destination.

What was the most challenging part of writing your memoir, and what was the most rewarding?

The most challenging part was having to relive my journey and put all of my “stuff” out there for the world to see.

The most rewarding was the validations from reviews and other feedback how the book has helped others be seen and be inspired to move forward in their journey.

What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your story?

It is never too late, and you are not too broken to move forward and change your path to healing.
