In this powerful episode, Lizzie and Deana speak with Tracy DeTomasi, CEO of Callisto, a groundbreaking nonprofit using secure technology to connect survivors of serial predators—without forcing them to go public.
Tracy shares how the Callisto Vault platform empowers survivors to safely report, match with others harmed by the same perpetrator, and make informed choices about next steps. The conversation dives deep into the psychology of grooming, the myths around “risk reduction,” and how shifting the focus from “don’t get assaulted” to “don’t assault” changes everything.

In this episode:
 • How trauma-informed technology is changing survivor advocacy
 • What “Callisto Vault” does and how it protects privacy
 • The difference between minimizing risk vs. blaming victims
 • How grooming happens at any age—and how to recognize it
 • Why we need to hold perpetrators accountable, not survivors
