WHAT WAS HER NAME

Jessica shares her story that took place at a cabin at only 18. She shares a situation that started off mutual quickly getting weird fast. We have a conversation about self worth, boundaries, people pleasing and the dangers that can hold in situations where no means no. I’m fortunate to know her from high-school, and it’s been wild to have people from high-school and college open up and share their trauma with me. I know none of us thought we’d have a story like this to share but it’s special every conversation to openly and courageously tell the stories that feel “safer” underneath our bed. The bravery and courage these women has is incredible. Tune in to listen, support, and stand with these survivors.

Brittany opens up about a sexual assault she experienced by a co-worker. We talk about boundaries, knowing how and who to trust, and. everything in between.

I share my story with sexual assault. I experienced assault several times in my life starting from a very young age. I'm opening up about rape that I experienced my freshman year of college that took my virginity and left me incredibly traumatized and wounded. I talk about how that manifested in my own life as well as the very real fact that at no point are we exempt from sexual assault. This season has been triggering for me due to a recent-very unexpected encounter I had with assault while preparing for this season some months ago. I'm here to share others stories including mine and remind others to set up boundaries and establish rules for yourself in order to ensure safety and protect yourself. And remind you all that nobody is alone, shame is crappy and false because there's nothing YOU did to inflict this assault, and "boys will be boys" is a phrase that frankly needs to be thrown in the trash. There's no excuse, no exception, ever. No means no. And we need to put the word "consensual" in our own dictionary. Because at any point, at any time you can say no. 

Faith shares her experiences with sexual assault. Faith gives us insight into different tactics used that lead to assault. 

This episode is unique for many reasons. My guest and friend Cami shares her story with us and recorded her story from start to finish. Due to Covid I was not able to host, however having Cami share her story it feels special because of how poetic she is and creative in the way she opens up. This place here within what was her name was created with the hope and intention that survivors would come forward and be able to share their own story. And with that comes a person, unique and individualistic, creative and unique. This episode is beautiful. As I sat and heard her story for the first time myself I’m blown away each story how much bravery and courage these women have. Join us in supporting cami in her story as she shares her experience with domestic abuse and sexual assault.
