In this episode, Stacie is delighted to have a conversation about journalling and the therapeutic benefits as a practice with Sasha Glasgow @FrankandFeel (Instagram) www.frankandfeel.com. Sasha used to class herself as a writer, doubter and doer. More recently though, the only label she’s interested in holding onto is ‘woman figuring it out.’ She speaks from her heart and writes from her road as she lives it, becoming ever-less afraid of not knowing (or pretending that she does). Sasha is a freelance writer, journalling guide and podcaster under the brand, Frank+Feel. She sees her life as one made up of words, using them to inspire and be inspired. To express, process and connect, and makes space for others to do the same through the journalling spaces she holds.

Stacie has used journalling as a healing tool throughout her healing journey and was happy to have Sasha on the podcast to share the benefits and wonders of this practice. Thank you Sasha for your time and your beautiful way with words. Stacie highly recommends you seek out Sasha's Substack 'A life of words' and her journalling sessions.

Book: Life after sexual abuse: A Practical Healing Toolkit to Reconnect Mind, Body & Soul

In this solo episode, Stacie answers a listener question of what her healing looks like now, 12 years on from starting 'conscious' healing. Stacie talks about how her healing is ongoing - it isn't a once and done thing; it is a continual cycle. Healing is like peeling back the layers of an onion to reach that inner peace and no longer being triggered by trauma memories. Patience and self-kindness are key. As always, take care of yourself when listening - look after yourself first and foremost and what you need today. The podcast will be here when you are ready.

In the first episode of season 2, Stacie responds to a listener question on the theme of relationships with abusers. Thank you to the Finnish listener who sent a voice note - it was so lovely to hear a human voice of a listener. You can send voice notes through some podcast platforms. Relationships with abusers adds another complexity to abuse because it often brings huge guilt and shame around perceived complicity. Most often, survivors do not recognise abuse because they feel they have consensually been part of the relationship but this in itself does not mean you agreed to sexual assault/abuse - regardless of age. Each person's experience is unique and valid - Stacie shares her own experience and scenarios from other survivors within this episode. There is an important distinction between consenting to being in a relationship and abuse of trust and power. As always, take care of yourself when listening - look after yourself first and foremost and what you need today. The podcast will be here when you are ready.

In this guest episode, Stacie chats with 'Emily' who shares her story and healing journey anonymously. This is a powerful episode that Stacie hopes will encourage you to share your truth here in this safe space if you feel called, anonymously if you wish. One of the main purposes of this podcast is to give a platform and voice to survivors of sexual abuse; we will not be silenced. It is a liberating experience to share your voice and truth in this way. Full permission to talk about what you feel comfortable to share. This is an invitation only - it's okay if you aren't ready to share your story but know the offer is here if and when you want to take it. Emily shares her healing journey which began a few months ago, the power of therapy and healing your way, at your own pace. This is an inspirational episode (as always) that could specifically help you if you are just beginning your healing journey - so much can shift in a short amount of time if you are willing to heal for you. This episode also discusses the media, the power of belief and triggers within the media of high profile figures. 

As always, take care of yourself when listening - look after yourself first and foremost and what you need today. The podcast will be here when you are ready. Your feedback is always welcome - you can share your feedback with Stacie or request to be a guest on the podcast here.
