Brave Love

Laura Davis, Co-Author of "The Courage to Heal," surprises Brave Step founder, Crystal Emerick (Ep 10)


Listen Later

In today’s episode Sarah chats with Brave Step founder, sexual abuse survivor and advocate, Crystal Emerick. Be sure to watch the whole episode because she gets a surprise from one of her heroes at the end!

If you are thinking Brave Step sounds familiar, it's because during episode four of The Brave Love Show Catherine Bane (https://www.bravelove.tv/learning-to-transform-surviving-into-thriving-with-catherine-bane-episode-4/), an Army veteran and sexual assault survivor shared with us that Brave Step was crucial in helping her heal and find peace after trauma. 

In this episode Sarah and Crystal play a game which requires singing Christmas songs, PLUS they chat about... 

- How Crystal went from being sexually abused to healing, to sharing her story then starting an organization to help others heal

- Why going through the pain is the only way to heal
- Why we don't ever get to a "perfectly healed" point, but it's a lifelong process
- Many references to Brené Brown
- Books and resources for healing from sexual trauma 

We hope you enjoy the show and please continue the conversation in the comments on our website:
