Anonymous: In Honor Of Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Listen now
Description
For those of you who don't know, April is sexual assault awareness month. I thought it would be a good opportunity to focus mostly on that in this episode. This episode is different then others I've put out in that my guest is remaining anonymous. She was willing to sit with me and tell me her story, but preffered to keep it private which I completely understand. I think it's important to share our conversation with you because I've found that being able to relate to other women who have gone through what I've gone through has truly been one of the most healing things through this entire process.  We talk a lot about life after the fact, which includes things such as... bad dates, wearing the same clothes for months on end, weight gain, dick cleanses, rude police officers, having your attacker contact you, finding forgiveness, and reclaiming your body in the korean spa. BUT... even through all of the heaviness there are some really good laughs and we definitely find the humor in all of it.  I hope that these kinds of conversations can help remove the shame around sexual assault. I still struggle with it myself, although it is MUCH MUCH MUCH better then it was when it first happened. My goal in speaking about it is that we can move towards a world where women and girls don't feel as ashamed, alone, or embaressed about what happened to them. Enjoy the episode. You are all loved!
