Ep. 58: Audrey Prosper's Husband Sets Her on Fire but She Survives Because Women Are Strong as Hell


Listen Later

It's Human Trafficking Awareness Month, which is way less fun than what we celebrated last month but still deserves our attention. We nominate Greta Thunberg for our Hero of the Year for taking down trafficker and overall douche Andrew Tate through a tweet alone that damaged his paper-thin ego so much he led police right to him (through a pizza nonetheless!). Next, we're questioning Dana White and how it's possible the president of the UFC would ever resort to violence — it's not like he's surrounded by it and promoting it 24/7. And if you want to skip all that and go to the 29-minute mark, you can hear the incredible story of Audrey Prosper, winner of last year's Purple Ribbon Award for Survivor of the Year. She not only survived her husband's murder attempt but went on to build an incredible life of advocacy by starting her own nonprofit (the National Domestic Violence Collaborative) and giving a TEDx Talk while also being a badass mama. The lengths some men will go to keep women as their property is astounding, but they underestimate our resilience every day. Audrey joins us at the end of the episode to tell us in her own words how life is going (spoiler: it's pretty darn good). Thank you for listening and if you'd be so kind as to hit that 5-star button, leave a review or tell a friend we exist, we'll make sure the universe sends some good karma points your way.
