In this episode, the ladies dive into Em's story of domestic violence, coercion, and survival. For 15 years, she endured abuse at the hands of her former husband, who not only coerced her into fulfilling his dangerous kinks but also sex trafficked her. Under the guise of pleasing her ex-husband, Em was forced into situations she never consented to, including being advertised on Craigslist and hookup sites. Her ex-husband further violated her by distributing hundreds of intimate photos across the internet, engaging in what is known as revenge porn—images that still circulate today with no help from law enforcement.

In PART 2 with Sheerin: We dive deeper into the Women's Advocacy Initiative, where Sheerin reveals how they're bulldozing the barriers that keep survivors silent after assault. Whether it's financial roadblocks, lack of information, or just plain not knowing your rights—let’s face it, we've all been hit by at least one of these hurdles.
Sheerin also shares some of her own battles with addiction—rehab, trying heroin, and getting kicked out of school. It's time to reframe sexual violence for what it truly is: violence, plain and simple. Cheers!

The ladies sit down with Sheerin Gryloo, the founder of the Women's Advocacy Initiative. Together they truly shoot the shit and go on a rollercoaster of conversations from makeup to nose jobs, to how to truly be an advocate for yourself and the crossovers of battling addiction as a survivor. This is part 1 of an epic two-parter. Sheerin shares her experience of being what society would call "the worst kind of victim" to having no shame attached to her assault. This episode is truly unhinged, full of dark humor, experiences, and important conversations. If that sounds like your kind of episode, give it a listen!

In part 1 of this two-part series, Lauren and Shannon have on a powerhouse in the world of sexual assault prevention. Tracy Detomasi is currently the CEO of Callisto, a company using technology to change the face of prevention solutions. In part 1, the gals dive into the idea of rape being a “man’s problem” or really a perpetrator's problem. Tracy gives us insight into what it looks like to work with teen sex offenders and their pasts that led them to live the life of a perpetrator. She discusses the importance of getting to the root cause of rape and assaults answering the questions of why do perpetrators rape, assault, and have abusive tendencies? The real kicker in this episode though is the discussion of safety lists. If you are somebody who has struggled with blame and shame within your own trauma, this episode will provide you with an incredible insight into why survivors are so quick to place blame on themselves. Hopefully this insight can help you drop the blame and shame you hold, throw it on the ground and kick it into the Pacific Ocean. Or Atlantic. Or whatever ocean is closest to you. Give it a listen. Cheers!
