Hi Lovelies! As always it is my pleasure to bring you a new episode of The Illuminare Podcast, and this week I had the honour of interviewing Joanna from @mayb_etomorrow . Joanna shares her story in an honest and open conversation about a specific time and a specific incident in her life. Speaking about such a difficult situation can be nerve wrecking, but Joanna spoke with such bravery and courageousness, leaving me stunned and feeling empowered by her strength. 

.

As a pre-warning, this episode speaks about sexual assault and some of you may find it triggering. Although details were not expressed, the emotion is very tangible from the conversation. If you have been affected by sexual assault, please do not stay silent! Speak out about your experience. It's the first step on a long path of recovery... 

.

If you are not sure of where to reach out to, try Women's Aid Ireland, The Rape Crisis Centre, or speak to your GP and get guidance on where to get counselling. You can also reach out to myself or Joanna, and we can assist you in making the first step of courage.
