***Trigger Warning***

This is a heavier episode as we speak of sexual assault, rape, and abuse. If you are suffering or recovering from a mood or mental disorder and/or a victim of sexual assault or abuse, please listen with caution or don't listen at all. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or to trigger negative thoughts or emotions. Also, if you are a bit more sensitive or an empath, you also may want to listen with caution. This episode also contains explicit language.
