Since April is sexual assault awareness month, I thought it would be awesome to speak to some of my friends about their experiences with assault/rape. (I still find it hard to use the "R" word) In this episode, my friend Amber and I share with each other our experience moving through our assaults and the tools we used and things we did that helped us get to the other side. It was a really incredible experience for me to sit down with Amber and I hope you'll feel that too. As a PSA I should mention: We are NOT professionals (Counselors, therapists, etc). 

Amber and I met on a photoshoot she was producing. She's a woman's health advocate (she spoke on behalf of Planned Parenthood in California's capital, Sacramento), she worked at Vogue, is mom to a teeny weeny pug named Mabel, a Harvard Graduate, and a sexual assault survivor. 

Listen to us talk about having PTSD while being intimate after the fact, trying to socialize and make new friends, discussing (or not) your assault with a new partner, abortions, and salads vs sandwhiches.

She's...
