#109 Kelly Higgins - From Trauma to Survival

About this episode

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Podcast, Tony Murrell sits down with Kelly Higgins, daughter of Bernadette McNeilly.

Kelly shares her story of growing up surrounded by abuse and trauma, and the lasting impact of discovering her mother’s involvement in a sadistic cult. She opens up about the abuse she and her brothers experienced, the mental health struggles that followed, and her time spent in foster care.

The conversation also focuses on the care system and why Kelly is now fighting for change through her petition to improve the lives and support available for children in care.

A raw and emotional conversation about trauma, resilience, and turning pain into purpose.
