Monsters in My House

What if where you started doesn’t have to be where you finish?

In Monsters In My House, Walt McKinley shares the true story of surviving extreme childhood abuse—and the deliberate choices that transformed pain into power, trauma into purpose, and survival into leadership.

This is not a victim story.

It is the story of a man who refused to let his past define his future—and now helps others do the same.

Through raw honesty, unexpected humor, and hard-earned conviction, McKinley takes listeners on a journey from unimaginable trauma to a life built on resilience, boundaries, belief, and personal responsibility. Along the way, he shares the principles that helped him break generational cycles, prevent burnout, build meaningful relationships, and lead with authenticity.

Unlike many trauma memoirs, Monsters In My House does not leave listeners stuck in the darkness. It does not sensationalize abuse or ask listeners to relive their pain. Instead, it offers something far more rare: hope with direction.

Readers consistently describe this book as:

* Healing without being overwhelming

* Honest without being exploitative

* Inspirational without being cliché

Whether you have experienced trauma yourself, love someone who has, or simply need proof that your past does not determine your potential, Monsters In My House delivers a powerful truth:

You are not broken.

You are not alone.

And you still get to choose who you become!

Narrated by the author, this audiobook delivers the story exactly as it was lived—raw, honest, and deeply personal.
