Rebecca Pott Fitton's book is a memoir of her healing journey. She followed the archetypical path of the hero’s journey. It begins with her despair and brokenness, spirals through her years of healing with the help of psychotherapy and alternative therapies, and concludes with her spiritual connection within and with the universe. Hers is a success story of becoming who she never imagined she could be. In this episode, she shares with us how writing poetry played a huge part in her healing.

This month Eve talks with co-founder and survivor, Leslie Holt, of ​T​he Radar Project and the #Me​TooMap. RADAR is the acronym for Rape and Domestic Abuse Report. The RADAR Project has developed a website based technology that through anonymous reporting, simultaneously supports rape victims, helps the public identify unsafe areas, and assists law enforcement in identifying "hot spots" to create safer environments. We talk about transforming trauma through empowerment around reporting and the impact technology can have for survivors, communities, and police. Learn more and contact Leslie at www.theradarproject.org and [email protected].

Do you understand what forgiveness truly is? Do you understand that it is different than the misaligned version of forgetting what was done to you? Do you feel "pushed" to forgive another or a situation prematurely? Do you think you have forgiven only to feel anger and resentment still lurking underneath? Or do you end up feigning what you think is forgiveness to feel that you are adhering to spiritual principles necessary to heal? In explaining some of the spiritual principles of Theta Healing Technique, and in relating some of her personal healing of abuse through forgiveness, my guest, Judy Dragon, shares ways to help free you from the past and reclaim your own experiences and empowerment without attachment to how abusers operate.

Do you want to feel empowered in your life both in and out of relationships? Do you want to know how you can prevent yourself from getting in to an abusive relationship? Unfortunately, intimate partner abuse happens to 1 in 4 women in the US. As a survivor, Caitlin D’Aprano realized that there were things she could have stayed aware of in her own life to prevent herself from getting in to the relationship she ended up in and wants to share that with as many people as possible as she believes prevention is key so you can stay self-empowered in your life. www.willpoweredwoman.org

Eve and her guest Bryce Komaroff critique the national conversation about abuse and how we villainize individuals rather than hold the entire society accountable for socializing certain groups to feel entitled and superior, while others are trained to feel inferior and powerless. Bryce reflects on her journey to become a health educator, what’s missing in the #metoo ​movement, ​and ​how we must create a culture where consent is the norm, and where it's okay to prioritize our pleasure ​above all else. ​
