Bianca Colclough's Empowering Journey: From Gambling Addiction to Creating a Supportive Community for WomenBianca Colclough, the founder of This Girl community, has opened up about her own struggles with gambling addiction. Despite being unknown to many close to her, this addiction stemmed from years of sexual abuse by a family member and dealing with her parents' difficult divorce. She has also experienced her own divorce and two miscarriages.In an effort to help other women share their own stories and overcome their traumas, Bianca now brings women together to build self-worth and businesses step by step. Her company offers consulting and networking to support wellness and development.Bianca's gambling problem started small and quickly became unmanageable as she sought to escape her own reality. Her hope is that by sharing her story, others will be inspired to come forward and seek help in overcoming their own addictions.No matter what the addiction may be - whether it's related to alcohol, food, drugs, sex, cleanliness, or gambling - asking for help is a courageous step towards healing. Remember that you are not alone on this journey, and there is great strength in seeking support.   You can watch the full interview on the Second Chance Podcast YouTube channel.This Girl Community on InstagramThis Girl Community WebsiteThis Girl Consultancy on TikTok Second Chance Podcast on YouTube Raphael on Instagram Raphael's Website Second Chance on Facebook Raphael Rowe FoundationPodcastsecondchance on TikTok Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
