Now we're from Our sponsors.
Awesome. Awesome. Today's guest is Sherry Hawk, author, retired music educator, survival advocate. Shirley is the author of Piece by Piece, A memoir of Survival, Resilience and the power of creativity. Please help me welcome Cheryl today. Hello, Cheryl.
[00:03:29] Speaker D: Hello. Thanks for having me. I'm really excited about our conversation today.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: Me too. I am so super excited. You know, alongside of these allergies that have taken over my eyes and my throat, I think we're going to have a wonderful conversation. So listen, I always say there's a cause and effect for every single book, every single thing a woman does. We're very intentional, sometimes not knowing it.
So tell us about your journey. What got you to the point where you became a survivor of resilience and a creator? Tell us about it. Tell us how you got here.
[00:04:01] Speaker D: So I'm going to work backwards. I'm a 63 year old mom and grandmother. I had a 41 year career as a choral director of a large high school. I was a quarter finalist for Grammy teacher of the year. And backwards, I've been married for 43 years. And in the book I say I'm the most conservative liberal you can know know because I live extremely conservative life, but I have liberal ideas.
But back up to childhood, I was physically, psychologically and sexually abused by my father. That was planned before birth. So for 18 years. And the, and the story is not dark. The story is what's it like to grow up like that and what's it like to break away from that?
What's that like to be lent Till I was 50 years old and then what is it like to now be a survivor instead of a victim and be able to change lives and change legislation and change, change the way maybe my grandchildren will grow up in this kind of situation.
[00:05:14] Speaker A: Tell us about your book. What made you write that book?
[00:05:18] Speaker D: So I, I think it's funny because I was 62 and I took a really, really bad fall and my face looked like Frankenstein's Bride. It was really, really bad. And so I had to go to the hospital and I went to the hospital and I had a bad cough and they took a picture and I had 60 tumors in my lungs. And the initial part of that was, yeah, you're probably gonna like maybe not be around for another year.
And I was like in shock. And I'm like, I can't leave this world until I write, write something until I leave the story of what it really was about to be me, a successful woman that to the world had it all. But what was going on inside all Those years of being quiet. And so a year later, I'm not dying.
I. We still don't know what. What's going on with my lungs.
But I wrote a book, and I didn't ever think I could write a book. I'm not a good writer. I grew up in Hawaii reading pidgin English and talking pidgin English. And my friend who sang for the Red wings for about 30 years, the red Wings hockey team in Detroit, said, sherry, why don't you just sit down and whatever is in your mind, just put it on paper? And so I came up with about 14 pages of just this giant run on sentence that was in pidgin English. And then I looked at it. I thought, you know, I can tell more stories about this, because guess what? I'm a storyteller. That's what I did in the classroom. That's what I do with my friends.
I tell stories. So I began telling stories, and that is how the book started to develop.
And I have so many stories, I decided it has to have one. One purpose. It has to not be just a random stories. And my family was not happy about this. They were. We are a quiet family. We don't want anybody to use our names or. I said, this. This is not going to be about you. This is about me. This is about me being. Being the strong woman that I am. And how did I get here? And how can I say to all of those women who've had to be silent for a really long time, it's okay. It doesn't have to define you?
So that's kind of what the book is about.
It is about my story, and it kind of has an arc.
I don't want to tell. Tell the arc. But I did get out of my situation, and I worked really, really hard at whatever I did. And. But that wasn't enough. I have five neurological conditions, and they're all caused by that cort that many of us women have.
That does a lot of physical damage. And it did. It did a lot of physical damage to my body. So how do you manage that?
[00:08:24] Speaker A: Holding that all of those years started to basically eat you from inside out.
[00:08:29] Speaker D: Yeah, seriously.
Like I said, five neurological problems that are directly attached to the cortisol.
[00:08:40] Speaker A: And.
[00:08:40] Speaker D: And the Cortisol is measured 90% more than anybody else because of all of the secrets and all of the childhood trauma.
[00:08:48] Speaker A: So what was your healing journey like? Or have you not healed?
[00:08:53] Speaker D: Well, that's why my book is named Piece by piece, because I think as women, you know, it's not one aha moment, and we're all healed. What we know is, is that one in five of us in the United States had at least one situation. We were sexually abused. That's a very, very high number as a. As a minor.
And so it causes trauma, whether it's one time or 18 years time. And to say we can heal in one session or we can heal when one thing happens is really not fair. To say we are building pieces, and that's why it's named Piece by Piece. You know, we took different pieces as I grew up and as I became a successful choir teacher and fine arts director, and I took music and working kids and building communities where fine arts could be a place where children could thrive and learn and grow.
[00:09:52] Speaker A: That.
[00:09:53] Speaker D: That sometimes even those pieces that I built, we know as women, they also get kicked down a lot. So what do we do? Take the shattered pieces again and try to build something even better the next time. And, you know, there is the option to walk away from the pieces, but for me, there's no option.
My option is just to keep building. And I think that's. Healing is so important for me is because it's building every podcast, everything I write, every woman who's 60 to 80 who's come to me since I've written the book and say, I.
I never told anybody, but I'm a survivor, too. And that's been happening over and over and over. And so to me, that's actually healing because they found their voice even not on a podcast or not in. In the workplace, but they found their Voice Enough to 60, 70, 80 years. You know what? I'm a survivor, too, and I read your book, and so I'm going to say it out loud now. I know I'm not alone.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:10:56] Speaker D: And women often feel. And in the workplace, we feel alone, especially in situations that were very few women in our profession. So when I started out being a choral director of a high school, I would go to competitions, and I literally was the only woman with choirs that were at that level. You know, we've gone to Carnegie Hall, Disney Jazz Festival. I was literally the only woman. Now that's changing. Thank goodness we have some really strong women. I have many of my students who have now gone into the career, but when you do that right, you. You have to. You have to be strong, and you have to, you know, just know who you are with intention. I think you say that a lot. Know who you are with intention, and. And so you can't know who you are with intention until you really admit to yourself some of the trauma that you've been in. And I, I think for me that healing comes when I see those children, you know, be successful in whatever they are when they find music, when I build communities, when I have women who come to me and say, I'm a survivor. Thank you for writing this book. Those are the healing things for me, truly the healing things.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: How did music therapy play a part in your healing journey?
[00:12:22] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't think it's so much therapy. I think it's just it. Music is my savior. I hate to use that word because people are going to say it's God. But from the time there's a picture in my book of me, 18 months old, playing the piano, it was my go to when that cortisol was going as a child and I was in a situation, I sat down at that piano or I sang a song or, you know, and I. For me, the greatest thing is making music. It's not listening to music, but listening to music too. I remember right before I got married, and I got married pretty quick to the guy who said his name was Hawk. We were both graduating from Baylor University and. And it was. He said to me, you want to go to graduate school with me? And I go, I'm following you and you marry me. So guess what? We got married. But I remember the morning of my wedding, before anybody came in, putting on those music, listening to Amy Grant, you know, and just being enveloped by that music, it just made the endorphins come and, and the cortisol was pushed aside and, you know, I had this beautiful day.
Just than making music with students, I found that over my 41 year career, I was the most dark. I want to put dark in the summertime because I wasn't making music with kids. I wasn't making a safe environment. And we weren't, we weren't singing, I wasn't conducting all day.
So every part of it, not only that, but the other people that I know in the music industry, they offer so much to me as well.
I've been very blessed. I live in Detroit, Motown. So I live in a place where music is just part of our world. And I grew up in Hawaii, where it's even more part of the world. I mean, everybody sings, the football players, everybody's playing ukulele. It's just part of the fabric of life.
So I can't say enough for me how music has changed me. We know that the endorphins helped me combat the cortisol and helped me be Able to learn and go to college. I don't think I could have done those things if. If I faced trauma without music.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: That is so beautiful. That is so beautiful. Why do you think that type of trauma silences people for so long and they hold it? Why do you. Why do you think that is?
[00:14:57] Speaker D: Well, there's a couple reasons. One is, is that we know that the abusers groom us to make it feel like it's our fau and it's never a child's fault, never ever. And that if we do tell, we know 80% are close members of family or family members. They tell us we're going to break up our family and our lives will be ruined.
So that would be the number one. That's why we're quiet.
I think we're taught to be ashamed, and we're. We're scared. And I'm going to be honest, there are some people out there who are still not kind. I had a neighbor who called when I wrote the book and said, listen, you're not supposed to do this. We don't talk about this. We don't talk about it.
But when we don't talk about it, there's no accountability to those abusers, and we can't stop it and prevent it. And so I couldn't be quiet anymore. Not only for my own healing, but for my grandchildren. You have grandchildren. Right. They're the joys of our life.
Right. And you don't know it until they put that baby in your hand and you're like, oh, I love my grandchildren more sometimes than my own children.
Yeah. So I'm not gonna allow them to live in a world that isn't safe.
And so I have to do more than just be hypervigilant and watch them all the time.
And. And so this is part of that more.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: That's a part of your legacy, A part of your legacy and your journey.
[00:16:35] Speaker D: Well, they're a part of our legacy.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: That's. That's beautiful. That is absolutely beautiful. I do agree, a lot of times it's because of the.
The person actually thinking it's their fault, you know, but it's. When you transition over from a victim to a survivor, you know, that's a heavy stake there. Heavy, heavy stake.
[00:16:57] Speaker D: Yeah. My book is really about being a survivor, not a victim.
It was a big shift change for me, and I really love it. My grandson and I went to Hawaii to visit just last week, and he's 11 years old. He'd never been on an airplane. And we went. And when you read the book, you'll see that I've worked to change some laws, statutes of limitations in Hawaii, and I've gone to the Capitol, and I was invited with my grandson to be in. Introduced to the House of Representatives as an advocate. And when I stood there with my grandson, that was the legacy giving him the opportunity to see what it's like that grandma is going to share her voice and no change. And I'm not sure he really knows why we were there, because I think the discussion is a little bit too hard for a child to have to bear. But he knows that grandma is trying to make the world a better place. And I think that's the legacy we all, as grandparents and women, mothers and grandmothers have. We can give that legacy to our children and our grandchildren.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: It's very important.
That voice goes on, your story goes on. They grow from it. That's the hope, anyway, you know, is that your seeds grow from it. Now, what does it look like when a person reclaims their voice after being silenced for so long? What is that for you? How did that feel? What did that look like for you? How liberating is that? How liberating?
How liberating is that?
[00:18:33] Speaker D: Yeah. So my first voice or. Or recognizing that was 10 years ago. My brother, who was mentally ill, had come from Hawaii.
Long story short, he went papuli crazy. I had to get him back to Hawaii. I hadn't been in Hawaii for 25 years, and. And his care team at the state mental hospital came and said, we know your story. And I'm like, what? You know my story? No one knows my story. I never talk about it. What do you mean, you know my story? They go, oh, no, we know your story. Your brothers told us. And your father, who abused you was. Was saying how wonderful he was to make a woman that turned out like you. And we think you could help change laws. And at first, I'm like, nope, going back to Michigan. Going back to Detroit. No, no, no, no, Don.
And I came back to Detroit, and for four months, I watched my students, and every day.
I didn't have my grandchildren at the time, actually, I had my first grandson. And I just thought, I. I have to do something. Nothing's changing.
And so I said, okay. And I had to sue my own father, which I ended up winning.
But I had to get up in a court of law. That was the first time someone had to hear my voice. And it was scary. It was really scary.
But when I walked out, I just went.
And from that time, I've begun to Understand myself.
Triggers that I had, like, why didn't you take your shoes off at my front door?
Used to give me so upset. I had no idea why. Well, now I understand. It was because I didn't feel respected. You didn't take your shoes off. I cleaned my house for you as a guest. And because I wasn't respected and I wasn't listened to as a child.
[00:20:32] Speaker A: Right.
[00:20:33] Speaker D: Now I know who I am. And now I can really identify some of the behaviors that I need to change, like not get upset about shoes in my house and. And grow as a person, because I don't care until the day I die. Us, as women, we have to grow as people.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:20:54] Speaker D: We have to.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: We have to continue to grow. You know, a person very dear to my heart mentioned several times how a lot of times you regret dissolves when you get revelation.
When you get revelation of something, an understanding of something, and unfortunately, sometimes it's later in life that. That we get understandings that. That wisdom, that seasoned, you know, wisdom actually kicks in and defines some things that happen in your life's timeline that, like you said, your triggers, you didn't know why you were being triggered by something so minute, seemingly, but it was a reason behind it.
But when you get revelation, it's like a level of healing and a level of peace at the same time. And it also lets us know that everything was working according to a plan bigger than ours, sometimes even something detrimental, you know, traumatic.
[00:21:57] Speaker D: Absolutely.
[00:21:58] Speaker A: We learn. We learn that those traumatic events, whatever they may be, a lot of times are not about us as individuals or punishment or something that we did wrong. We learned that there's somebody that God's going to allow to cross our path, that's going to need our story so they can reclaim their voice and so that they can know that they are not the only ones that went through or are going through what they're going through.
[00:22:26] Speaker D: Absolutely. Absolutely.
And I think another thing about us being seasoned is that we're listening now. We're listening. We didn't always listen, and when we
[00:22:37] Speaker C: were
[00:22:41] Speaker A: in one mouth, it didn't resonate. Until you start to calculate those years, how important these are versus.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:49] Speaker D: Yes. Yes, exactly. And. And so I think that because as we became seasoned, we opened our ears and not our mouth as much.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:00] Speaker D: That we, We.
Things happen. We could see them, we could hear them.
And. And I. I encourage our listeners. Or all women, younger women.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:13] Speaker D: You know what? Open your ears sometimes. Open your eyes because it's there. And. And sometimes you walk right past it when you're too busy when you're not listening.
[00:23:24] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes. You have to be constructive with that business. You know, I tell people a lot of times we have to be busy about our father's business. Not just busy, just saying that we're just busy, you know?
[00:23:36] Speaker D: Well, intentional, though, I think.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: Intentional, yes.
[00:23:39] Speaker D: Intentional, yes.
[00:23:41] Speaker A: You know, it's funny. I read something, and I don't want to misquote it, but it was recent about. I was in Proverbs with my devotion time, and I wish I knew exactly where it was. But basically, in gist, what it was saying was, a person that is intentional will surely lead to, you know, success. You'll lead to. I want. I don't want to say riches, but I'll say wealth. I'll say completeness and wholeness. This is my revelation. But if you're not intentional, it's like praying amiss. It's like doing something just. Just idle chatter, idle work. It will lead to poverty. So we have to be intentional even with those things that are not, I would say, directly related to business or to something that you know will increase your income. Sometimes it's increasing yourself, increasing yourself value, your worth, your understanding of yourself, your understanding of your journey. You know, I remember going through my healing process that I didn't ask for to go through healing process. I was dropped into a healing process that now I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for. You know, it was during my sabbatical time, and it was just so funny because there were some revelations that I was getting about my life's timeline that for so many years, the way I deal with stress and things that bothered me was to block it out. I couldn't afford to have a full breakdown, a full meltdown. I would have a little small one. I'd straighten my crown like that quote said earlier. Straighten my crown, square my shoulders and walk ahead that. With that mask that I'm okay, but inside I'm not okay. I am not okay. I'm that person that a lot of times, everybody, you know, they'll come to me for encouragement. They'll come to me to empower them, come to me for prayer. I'm grateful and thankful for that. So you have a little small set of people that will feel you to a magnitude where they're saying, well, how are you really doing?
You know?
[00:25:43] Speaker D: Yeah. So how are you that woman, too?
[00:25:45] Speaker A: I see how you're going with the business. I see how you're going with the ladies. I see how you're going, you know, with the Family, how are you doing? Those, those voices, Those voices help you reclaim your voice. Those voices are the most empowering small sets of words that a woman can get or receive in a time where I don't want to say you're feeling overlooked. You're feeling like what I'm feeling right now doesn't matter. Let me help so and so get over this mountain. What I'm feeling right now doesn't matter. Let me, let me block it out and suppress it. I'll deal with me later. And then like you said about those cortisols, it starts to eat up some things or to wear on some things. And we're on. Your kindness and your patience. We're on. Your temperaments trigger you and you're not understanding, like, why am I, like, freaking out over something so small? But it's because you've blocked it out or there's something that you're not saying, something that you're not dealing with, something that you're not healed for, from right?
[00:26:46] Speaker D: And for us who've been through trauma, whatever that trauma is, often we get hypervigilant, which I describe in a very funny chapter in my book with my mom in her, her cut offs and her, her fanny pack in Monte Carlo.
But hyper vigilance, always being on alert. We're that way anyways as women because we have to take care of our children and make sure they survive in the whole cave and woman world.
But that hyper vigilance, when can we not be that way? When can we let, let us take care of ourselves instead of always taking care of everybody else.
So I, I just, I totally agree with you when, when you say we're pushing it down, pushing it down. That's what I did. Push it down, push it away, help kids, help my family, build this, build that, mentor other teachers.
But it doesn't go away.
[00:27:47] Speaker A: No, it doesn't.
[00:27:48] Speaker D: It doesn't.
[00:27:49] Speaker A: And, and again, you know, we're always saying we want to be whole, we want to be whole. There are a lot of ladies, you know, that are in my groups of coaching or mentoring, and that's like their mantras, I just want to be whole. I want to be complete. I want this, I want that. But it's a journey and it does not come easy. You know, I tell people a lot of times, so I've got a lot of war wounds on my back, but now I can say war wounds on my back that are healed, they don't bother me, they don't trigger me as much. It's like, you Get a level of peace.
You get a level of peace, and it only comes from above. Because I will say for all the years that I, and I'm sure other women have lived with those battle scars on their back in their minds, you know, in their mental psyches of things that they've suppressed or things that they haven't dealt with, I will say, you know, we, we look like all is well. You look like all this well, but you're not going to reach or fulfill as you're saying now in your years, you're trying to put some periods behind some things and, and lay some things out that give you peace and that will let your grandchildren and your grandchildren's children's children's children know in years to come. This is what I did to overcome this. This is how you stand up for yourself. This is how you exhibit resilience. This is how you come from victim mode into survival mode. You fight. And it's not always with your fist.
[00:29:19] Speaker D: Absolutely, absolutely.
I, again, that journey for me is piece by piece. And, and the reason I came to that is I had a son, I have four children. And my third child had a tumor the size of a softball in his skull. It was everywhere.
And we took him to University of Michigan. I tell the story in the book. He had 24 hours of open head surgery.
So he survives. We get out of icu, we come home. And while he was dying, that we didn't know, he built Legos like Millennium Falcon, every big one you could possibly do. And my husband built shelves in his room and we put the Legos on the shelves. And after all of the chaos of surgery and I had my daughter graduate from high school and all of that, I decided it was time to clean.
Some of us women do that when. Okay, we're going to clean up. So I went into the room to get the dust off the shelves and gently picking up the Legos, and I get to the Millennium Falcon and I pick it up and I don't know what happened, but it just dropped and shattered everywhere.
And I thought, oh my gosh, how can I do this to my child after everything he's been through? And I turn around and he's standing in the door. Little nine year old boy, just as pale as can be. He, he had nine pints of blood. And he says to me, that's okay, mommy, we'll just build something new.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:30:49] Speaker D: Right. And that's what we have the opportunity to do, whether it's with our businesses, whether it's with our families. Whether it's with the trauma that we have. Have.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: We have
[00:31:02] Speaker D: the. We all come to a point that we can intentionally decide. I can build something new.
[00:31:08] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: And don't be afraid to. Don't be afraid to.
What would be the best advice that you would give a person who is afraid to tell their story or has some traumatic event that has happened and they feel silenced or afraid? What would you tell someone that's not ever share, even in the small setting, not always grand setting, but just at least share maybe with a stranger or neighbor, something has happened to them and they just want to start to heal from it. What would you. What would you tell them?
[00:31:47] Speaker D: Yeah. First of all, what I want to say is that whatever happened is not your fault.
You have to. You have to. It's not your fault. It's never a child's fault. I mean, it is not. Whatever trauma you went through, you should not feel guilty.
So if you can get to the point that you really believe it's not your fault, then you need to believe that you're not alone. There are a lot of women out there, especially you, but me as well. They're for you. You're not alone. You feel alone so often, but you're not that. And the third thing is, is you don't have to be us and go on a podcast and go in the world and say, hey, I'm a survivor. Yes, you can just say it to yourself and you can say it when it's your time and you're ready.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: Yes. Yes.
[00:32:37] Speaker D: And that would be my advice, is that you wait till it's your time and you're ready when you're ready.
